With and without bio-based coating
This picture shows the microscopic particulars of a bioplastic surface: the upper part is the one of the not coated surface, showing unevenness that may lead to moisture or decay of the product to be stored. The bottom part, however, is coated with a bio-based coating developed in ECOFUNCO: the surface is even and resembles a rock, ready to protect food in the harshest conditions.
