Solinatra says it makes no sense that plant-based products will be banned, alongside plastic items.
The firm in Norwich makes biodegradable, compostable products as an alternative to single-use plastics"We were expecting a ban on single-use plastics - it's the whole reason we were developing Solinatra," he told the BBC."We've developed a solution that is clean, that is naturally biodegradable, and yet Defra has decided to group us along with the polluting plastics.
Candy Richards, development manager at the FSB, said the federation would call on the government to review the inclusion of biomaterials in the October law."We are urging the government to engage with organisations like Solinatra so they understand that they are part of the solution, not part of the problem.
She said another FSB member - a company in Wales that produces similar products based on algae - was "offered large financial incentives" to relocate to Canada.
