Soilon

Soilon is a fine mesh made from corn starch. It was designed for (and often used in) teabags. It was chosen to replace the materials in teabags, since it can be biodegraded and broken down readily by microorganisms in the soil. It is a safe and non-toxic alternative to the paper bags usually employed.
