FURTHER APPLICATIONS EXAMPLE OF A FURTHER APPLICATION Honeyfoam can be used for many different things. It can be used as filler material in tranport of fragile or heavy products. In present-day a lot of filler packaging has been replaced from styrofoam to paper, except for fragile or heavy products. These are still packaged with styrofoam, because paper can not guarantee the same amount of protection.
The bioplastic has foam like qualities and it able to guarantee the same amount of protection as styrofoam is. However, styrofoam is a lot lighter weight than the bioplastic. Weight is an important factor in transport which is why it needs to be designed differently on lightness. An example is to space out the material. By seperating the material and tying it together there’s a lot less material used. The protection guarantee will drop slightly but the weight will drop by a lot.
