Scobio is a colourless and biodegradable plastic replacement biofilm grown from Scottish gin distillery waste, developed in an effort to reduce the ever growing amount of plastic waste produced by households every year. It also has useful applications in the medical field, having inherent antimicrobial abilities and a water holding capacity exceeding wound dressings on the market today. It is petroleum free and biodegradable without the need for industrial composters as well as being made from raw materials sourced from existing waste streams.
