  Moved from operations into development of new products and applications of chitosan containing materials, including the food packaging material currently under development. Also developing the role that Cuantec will play in the circular economy, and how our materials can significantly reduce food, food processing and petrochemical packaging waste. Also developing relationships with companies who have interest in chitosan for non-packaging use.
