BioNet is manufactured in Australia from a starch based biopolymer. The material is certified compostable to European Standard EN13432 which means that it will break down into CO<sub>2<\/sub>, water and biomass in a compost facility within 180 days.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img SRC=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/news-images\/20081127-05\/Netting.jpg\" align=\"right\" style=\"margin-left:10px;\" BORDER=\"0\" ALT=\"Netting.jpg\"\/>BioNet took two years to develop. Together with a local net extrusion company BioPak trialed a number of different biopolymer blends until a suitable material was found. The biopolymer was easily extruded using existing equipment and produced a net that met all the functional requirements of traditional extruded net packaging.<\/p>\n<p>BioNet has excellent tensile strength and can be used as an effective replacement for conventional extruded net. It is available in a variety of colours, tube diameters and strand gauges to meet specific customer applications.<\/p>\n<p>Applications include:<br \/>   1. Produce Packaging: Oranges onions, garlic etc.<br \/>   2. Seafood Packaging: Crabs &#038; mussles<br \/>   3. Horticulture: Tree guards. Soil Binding<br \/>   4.
