Biome Bioplastics’ Biodegradable Tree Shelter

I filmed a short documentary exploring Biome Bioplastics’ development of biodegradable tree shelters designed to replace traditional oil-based plastic guards used in forestry and tree planting. Tree shelters are widely used to protect young saplings, but most conventional versions are made from non-biodegradable plastics that often remain in the landscape long after their use. 

The film focuses on how the company’s bioplastic materials aim to solve that problem by creating shelters that protect trees during their early growth but biodegrade naturally after their working life. 

Shot in a documentary style, the project combined interview with process footage to explain the environmental context behind the innovation while keeping the focus on the practical development of the product. The piece formed part of a broader clean-technology storytelling project highlighting sustainable materials and environmental solutions.
