While the team focus on technological innovation, they’re also committed to environmental responsibility. This is evident in their choice of bioaqualife’s ‘biowrap’ product to protect their boat during transport to Barcelona, Spain, for the competition.

Biowrap is a revolutionary alternative to traditional shrink wrap typically used on boats.  

Made from biodegradable materials, biowrap breaks down through microbial action, minimising environmental impact.

This is a significant improvement over traditional shrink wrap, which often ends up in landfills.
