Biodegradable Health Testing Kits

It’s NOT about going carbon neutral anymore

The COVID-19 pandemic has required lots of medical supplies to be used which are now ending up in the environment, so the 'ECO-FLO' biodegradable COVID-19 test has been developed to combat against this.

Developed by Morrama, the kit works by being opened, having a saliva sample placed in the designated area and waiting 15-minutes for the results. After providing results, the test kit can be slipped back into its sachet for disposal. The kit is crafted out of a recycled paper pulp, while the sachet is made using a biodegradable Nature Flex film.

Associated Director at Morrama Andy Trewin Hutt commented on the 'ECO-FLO' biodegradable COVID-19 test saying, "We have developed ECO-FLO to highlight the need for a more sustainable design. Projecting forward to future pandemics, ECO-FLO could offer a simpler, more accessible and more sustainable option to aid in keeping people safe through instantaneous mass testing, designed with people and the planet in mind.”
