Sustainable Brands Highlight 

BIO AMMO is revolutionizing the ammunition industry! Check out what sets this sustainable brand apart.

Innovative Materials

BIO AMMO shotshells are plastic-free and 100% biodegradable and compostable.

BIO AMMO wads and hulls do not generate any micro-plastics.

Excellent Performance

BIO AMMO shot shells are not affected by sunlight or moisture. They can be stored for longer periods than water-soluble wads.

Responsible Manufacturing

BIO AMMO wads and hulls are designed, manufactured and assembled in their modern factory in Europe.
