Biocomposite
The Billund series is based on a bio-composite.
The material comes from a combination of wood cellulose fibers and the oils that are squeezed out of wood pulp when making paper.
The raw material can be traced back to sustainably managed forests and is "waste" from other industries.
We are proud to use a low carbon footprint alternative to traditional plastic that doesn't interfere with any food-production chain, unlike crop-based biomaterials.
