Toraphene explained that seafood packaging is notoriously tough due to factors like heavy loads (that includes sharp tails...), wet conditions etc. For years, S. & A. Hart had no choice but to double-bag everything - which led to using over 50,000 plastic bags a year. Neither paper nor traditional bioplastics could handle the job.
The team at Toraphene engineered a bespoke compostable carrier bag using its V2 material (that is said to include graphene) and is reportedly 48% stronger than leading alternatives. It’s the same next-gen material now used in Toraphene's compostable bin liners.
This managed to eliminate double bagging and plastic waste and is seen by the company to be not only a success story but also proof that its materials are real-world ready.
