We transform agricultural waste into packaging. Sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw—materials that would otherwise decompose or burn, instead become containers and plates. By repurposing these agricultural byproducts we reduce demand for virgin materials, cut emissions, and divert waste from landfills. We’re making symptoms less painful while the root causes of disposable culture persist. Both truths coexist.
Globally, agricultural operations produce over 1.3 billion tons of crop residue each year. Much of it burns in fields or decomposes without purpose. What follows is our approach to materials, research, and product development—finding use for what would otherwise be waste. Each choice reflects our commitment to less harmful alternatives within the constraints of current systems.
Our molded fiber products use sugarcane bagasse, the fibrous residue after juice extraction. Each ton of sugarcane yields roughly 25% bagasse. Rather than letting it decompose or burn, we repurpose it into compostable packaging.
NoTree® bamboo products use FSC® certified bamboo fiber. By using bamboo-based paper, we reduce pressure on disappearing forests and support the Indigenous communities and wildlife whose survival depends on them.
Post-consumer waste (PCW) recycled paper reduces demand for virgin wood fiber, helping protect old-growth forests while increasing demand for recycled materials within a system where true circularity remains distant.
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a bioplastic derived from plant sugars. Through fermentation, sugars convert to lactic acid, then transform into polymers. PLA production generates 75% fewer greenhouse gases compared to petroleum-based plastics.
Our PLA products use bio-based plastic derived from plant sugars through fermentation of renewable crops like corn, tapioca, or sugarcane. We use PLA for cold food and beverage packaging, producing 75% fewer greenhouse gases than traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Our TPLA products combine 70% plant-based PLA with 30% talc minerals for increased strength and heat resistance. We use TPLA for cutlery and ZeroWare® reusable plates, bowls, and cups suitable for hot and cold foods.
Our CPLA products use plant-based plastic crystallized for heat resistance up to 200°F. We use CPLA for hot cup and bowl lids designed for high-temperature foodservice applications without petroleum-based materials.
Our PBAT products blend biodegradable synthetic plastic with corn starch for strength and flexibility. We use this material for compostable bags that break down in 2–3 months at industrial facilities, with a 12-month shelf life.
We design products with environmental consequences at the forefront. Our materials reduce deforestation, pollution, and emissions from the start. Every material decision either accelerates or slightly slows the extraction machine in which we all participate. We push suppliers toward cleaner energy and stronger environmental standards. Progress is slow within complex, globalized supply chains, yet we persist.
If your business recognizes our planetary crisis, your packaging should reflect that responsibility. We transform agricultural waste into functional, plant-based packaging that cuts pollution, deforestation, and fossil-fuel dependence. Stock, custom, and private-label options available.
Our packaging meets rigorous standards, backed by scientists and engineers. We don’t claim this solves disposable culture. We’re making symptoms less toxic while knowing that underlying systems persist. Against this backdrop, choosing compostable over conventional plastic matters. However small, these choices represent conscious decisions about the materials we use.
