Two small square samples: the upper one grey-blue with a smooth pale inset, the lower one mottled in greens, both surfaces finely pitted.
  • A single square of moulded foam in blocks of pale and deep green with a yellow-green wedge, its surface finely bubbled.
  • Two squares together — one in greens and yellow-green, one in blue-grey with a pale mushroom-shaped inset — both pitted with fine bubbles.
  • A round disc of moulded foam, a pink base with pale green and olive patches spreading across it and three smaller green dots.

Molded biofoam is a biodegradable foam material shaped by extruding a bio-based mixture into a container and allowing it to cool and set. The material takes on the form of the mold, producing soft, lightweight shapes.

Composition

Bio-polymer

Handling Notes

  • Test with small samples before scaling; material behavior varies
  • Shape while the mixture is workable; cool and set fully before demolding
  • Biodegradable; keep dry and avoid prolonged moisture exposure
