THE PRODUCT: BIO COCOON
WHAT IS BIO COCOON?
Banana is one of the most common fruits around the world which means there's a lot of waste from it as well, the peel and stem of the banana. The solution we got is Bio Cocoon which is created from the waste and reproduced for homeless people in Australia. The super-hydrophobic and antibacterial outer surface makes it water repellent and long-term use, on the other hand, the intersurface without those properties is double knitted below the outer surface to make you feel warm and comfortable.
FUNCTION OF BIO COCOON
Water repellency
The outer appearance has a super-hydrophobic property which makes the surface water repellent just like a raincoat.
Fast drying
As a result of the water repellent surface, even though there's water on Bio Cocoon you just need to shake or wipe it then you got a dry blanket again!
Waste recycle & reuse
We collaborate with the Australian government and other relevant services to obtain the waste from restaurants and other stores who would use banana for mass production to get the original feedstocks.
Self-cleaning
The water repellency leads to the lotus effect which is self-cleaning since the water dropped and take the dust away at the same time!
