Abstract/Description:
With over 200 million bandages being sold every year in the United States, there is a need for a sustainable solution. Our team has developed a new patent pending technology to revolutionize the bandage industry by repurposing agricultural waste. Our final prototype is a sustainably sourced, 100 % biodegradable bandage to reduce waste and protect minor wounds.
