Sustainability Meets Innovation: Field Test with Biodegradable Tree Shelters
At CO2BioClean, we are thrilled to take a significant step towards sustainable forestry in collaboration with the Bavarian State Forests.
Together, we have launched a field test with more than 1,000 tree shelters made from our biodegradable plastic. The test is being conducted approximately 80 km west of Munich and is overseen by Gerhard Kratzer from the Bavarian State Forests.
Goals of the Test:
– Biodegradability: To determine how tree shelters need to be designed to fully biodegrade within 3–5 years.
– Practicality: We’ve already gathered valuable insights on the handling and deployment of the shelters.
Why CO2BioClean Tree Shelters?
Our shelters are made from biodegradable plastic, using CO₂ as the primary raw material.
– Environmental Impact: Reduced ecological footprint of tree shelters.
– Cost Efficiency: No need for costly removal after use – the shelters simply biodegrade on-site.
As Gerhard Kratzer from the Bavarian State Forests explained, “We are testing tree shelters made from biodegradable plastic by CO2BIOCLEAN because they could offer significant ecological and economic benefits.”
We’re excited at CO2BioClean by the progress so far and are open to partnerships to further develop and market these innovative tree shelters.
