PolBionix biodegradable nursery pots now produced at industrial scale.

KMR, one of the largest harbour remediation projects of it’s kind globally, are partnering with W&R to to deplasticise their supply chain over time.

W&R and Scion were nominated for the Going Circular Award at the 2023 Sustainable Business Awards

Peter Wilson caught up with scientists Grant Northcott and Olga Pantos, experts on the impact of microplastics, discussing that even when packaging is labeled compostable, there is no guarantee that it won’t be harmful to the environment.

The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) contributed more than $41,000 to help us develop PolBionix™ through the Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures fund.
