Vigilis-Bio reaches 5-year research milestone

April 2023 will mark 5 years of research, development and infield testing of the Vigilis-Bio Tree Shelter and mark over 2 years of Vigilis-Bio shelters being planted in situ across the UK and US.

A truly innovative tree shelter, the Vigilis-Bio retains the performance and productivity benefits of a traditional (plastic) tree shelter, but without the environmental burden at the end-of-life.

5 years of growing protection

2 years of soil biodegradation

Biome Technologies plc (LON:BIOM) Biome Bioplastics and Suregreen partnered to create biodegradable tree shelters. The Vigilis Bio tree shelters are made from biodegradable biomaterials and have specifically been designed to guard and protect the first 5-7 years of a tree’s life.
