Bionolle decomposes naturally into water and carbon dioxide. In this era of increasing environmental awareness, Bionolle is thus attracting attention as a promising eco-friendly alternative to common plastics. Use is becoming more widespread, and Bionolle is showing excellent results particularly in agriculture, forestry, civil engineering and other fields in which recovery and recycling of materials after use is problematic.
