Hive Energy joined up with Horsham-based Nafici Group to invest in Nafici Environmental Research (NER) which converts agricultural waste, including wheat straw, into EcoPulp; an alternative to wood-based pulps in the production of paper packaging materials.
The firm said it decided to act as packaging is a major environmental concern, with many industries looking to move away from non-biodegradable, fossil-fuel plastics.
