Our eco friendly packaging is a biodegradeable plastic like material derived from wheat straw.
Plastic made from wheat straw, also known as wheat straw bioplastic, is generally considered more eco-friendly compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics. Here are some reasons why:
Renewable Resource: Wheat straw is a byproduct of wheat harvesting, which would otherwise be considered waste. Using this agricultural residue as a raw material reduces the demand for new agricultural resources and helps prevent waste.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: Wheat straw bioplastics often have a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional plastics since they are derived from plant-based sources rather than fossil fuels. This can contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Biodegradability and Compostability: Our wheat plastics break down through a process called biodegradation. This process involves the breakdown of the plastic material into simpler compounds by the action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, present in the environment.
Reduced Dependency on Fossil Fuels: The production of wheat straw bioplastics reduces reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels, which are typically used to create traditional plastics.
