Abstract
The invention relates to a biocomposite comprising beeswax and a method of producing the biocomposite with the use of beeswax. The use of beeswax made it possible to eliminate/replace synthetic (petroleum-derived) waxes used as a processing additive and reduce the carbon footprint of the composite.
