Start Date: 28/03/2017- End Date: 31/03/2019


Autom River Inc. (Canada) is translating success of their bio-based compostable food waste bin for the development of a biodegradable mosquito trap, impregnated with insecticide, and suitable for use in developing countries. The product's scalability and performance data will be collected from lab and field trials, and is positioned to reduce the transmission of mosquito vector-borne diseases such as the Zika virus.
