The bags will be used throughout Maldives resorts and by the expansive tourism sector.

According to Cardia, the biohybrid bags have undergone extensive product trials to receive Maldives EPA approval as environmentally preferred products. They are made with renewable materials that contain no heavy metals, which is helpful in reducing the carbon footprint.

Cardia managing director Frank Glatz said: "The process of approval involved trials that endorsed our product’s performance and environmental benefits."

Having established a supply chain into the Maldives, Cardia plans to further expand into the nation in partnership with Truly Green.
