Frequently Asked Questions

BAOM biofilm is a biodegradable, organic sheeting material designed to replace single-use and semi-permanent plastics in agricultural. Made from a unique blend of vegan, all-natural, and non-toxic ingredients, our films can be manipulated into various forms—functioning like traditional plastic sheeting used in farming for grafting, soil insulation, and plant protection. Unlike conventional plastics, BAOM biofilms are fully compostable and nourish the soil as they break down, leaving no harmful residue behind. 

BAOM is proudly based in Cape Town, South Africa. We currently focus on serving local farms within the region, with plans to expand our impact across South Africa and eventually into the broader African continent. As we grow, we’re committed to supporting sustainable farming communities throughout the Global South.

BAOM is primarily designed for the agriculture industry, particularly within regenerative and sustainable farming. Our biofilms are ideal for farmers looking to reduce plastic waste, improve soil health, and transition to eco-friendly growing practices. 

Unlike synthetic plastics, BAOM biofilms are fully biodegradable and made from organic materials. Instead of polluting the soil, our films break down naturally and return nutrients back to the earth—supporting long-term soil health and reducing waste management needs. This saves farmers time while providing them with a nourishing byproduct. 

Yes! BAOM biofilms are designed for versatility and can be adapted for different climates and crops. Their flexible nature allows them to support a wide range of agricultural uses—from grafting and branch repair to soil insulation and root protection. The films can shield plants from extreme weather, reduce pesticide exposure, and even enrich the soil as they break down. Depending on the application, BAOM ranges in form from a thick, leather-like sheet to a thin, adhesive film, making it suitable for both broad-scale farming and more specialized crop care.
