BioFoam® - Eco Friendly Bean Bag Filling

£37.95

Biofoam® is a compostable form of vegetable extract that has been expanded into micro pearls and is a perfect eco-friendly alternative to polystyrene. It looks similar, but is made from vegetable materials rather than petroleum based plastic. This means that it is derived from a renewable resource, has an organic base and is biodegradable.

Derived from plants (mainly corn), lactic acid is extracted from the vegetable raw materials and made into a micro pearl which is then expanded with CO2. Even though CO2 is used in manufacturing, this is offset from the use of plants for the raw material and Biofoam® is CO2 neutral in manufacturing. This makes Biofoam® a more sustainable product than traditional polystyrene filling which is both unsustainable to produce and is not compostable. In fact, once created, polystyrene can last for hundreds of years and as a non-biodegradable substance, is very difficult to recycle or repurpose.

At the end of its use, Biofoam® can be industrially composted or composted at home in a Hot Bin Composter. To compost Biofoam® both moisture and heat above 45 degrees need to be applied simultaneously, an important feature given its use as a filling, as it will not breakdown on its own over time.

Choose from various sizes of filler packs, including 60, 120, 180, or 240 litres of filling.

These refills come packaged in paper sacks which are also compostable.

Main features:

  • Ideal alternative to polystyrene
  • Compostable at high temperatures (industrial / hot bin)
  • Manufactured using plant based materials
  • CO2 neutral in manufacturing
  • Keeps its shape, ensuring our beanbags are incredibly comfortable

Please note: This item will arrive in its own box as it will be sent directly from the manufacturer so if you have purchased other items, these will come separately. A shipping and handling fee of £9.99 will be charged and applied separately for this item.
