Plastic is ordinarily made from ethanol that's extracted from crude oil, a rapidly declining non-renewable resource that emits large amounts of carbon during the refining process. Our bioplastic is made from ethanol that is a natural by-product of the sugar industry, and is a renewable, recyclable, and more sustainable option. Our formulations are happy in their new bioplastic homes and we think they’ll be happy in your home too (don’t forget to wash them out and put them in your recycling bin when finished).
