A small company turning langoustine shells into compostable food-wraps hopes to get out of the lab and start small-scale production later this summer.
In April, CuanTec, based at Dunstaff nage, successfully crowdfunded £5,036 from 131 supporters in just 42 days to help it work as fast as possible to come up with anti-microbial food packaging to make food last longer, avoiding plastic and food waste at the same time. Since January last year, the company has already got prototypes of three food packaging films.
