Biocompostables

What is it?

Biocompostables are food service and packaging items made from sugar cane fiber and bioplastics - plastics made from corn, potato or other annually renewable sources.

Fiber waste remaining after extraction of the juice from the sugarcane is molded at high pressure & temperature into plates, bowls, cups, take out containers, trays etc., while starch from corn, potato, tapioca, soybeans etc., is used to make products which are traditionally made from plastic and styrofoam.

Why not styrofoam?

Styrofoam and plastic disposables are made from petroleum based chemicals and additives.

Petroleum is not only becoming an increasingly scarce resource, but it causes pollution and toxicity every step of its use; extraction, transportation, refining, and eventual production of the end use product.

The end use products made of styrofoam and plastic do not break down and persist in the environment for hundreds of years, causing further pollution and toxicity.
