Materials Chosen for Performance and Sustainability
Our tableware is built on carefully selected materials that balance performance, food safety, and environmental responsibility.
Bagasse Fiber
Bagasse is a natural by-product of the sugarcane industry. After sugarcane is pressed to extract juice, the remaining fibrous residue is collected and transformed into durable tableware. Using a high-heat, high-pressure molding process, the fibers are shaped into strong and lightweight products.
Paper & Cardboard
Paper and paperboard form the foundation of many foodservice packaging products. Our materials are sourced from responsibly managed supply chains and selected to ensure consistent performance in food contact applications.
Food-Safe Inks
We use vegetable-based and water-based inks to ensure safe food-contact printing across our product range.
These inks deliver high-quality print results while maintaining safety standards for food packaging. They also allow flexible custom branding and product design.
PLA Coatings
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a plant-based polymer derived from fermented plant sugars. It is commonly used as a barrier coating for paper-based products, helping to prevent leaks and maintain product performance. By applying a thin PLA lining, paper containers can safely hold liquids and oily foods while maintaining food-contact safety.
How We Source Materials Responsibly
Choosing sustainable materials begins long before production. We work with trusted suppliers and carefully evaluate raw materials to ensure responsible sourcing, consistent quality, and long-term supply stability.
01 .
Supplier Selection
We partner with suppliers who follow environmental and quality standards.
02 .
Material Traceability
Raw materials are documented and tracked to ensure consistent sourcing.
03 .
Renewable Resources
Paper pulp and bagasse fiber come from renewable or agricultural sources.
Food Safety Is Core Priority in Our Material Selection.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals commonly used for water, grease, and stain resistance in many food packaging materials. While effective, PFAS are persistent in the environment and can accumulate in the human body, posing potential health risks such as:
Our tableware is designed without intentionally added PFAS and complies with food contact safety standards.
Microwave Safe for Everyday Use
Our paper, bagasse, and PLA-lined tableware is designed to withstand the heat of everyday microwave use without compromising safety or performance.
Understanding Compostable & Biodegradable
Many terms are used to describe how materials break down after use, but “compostable” and “biodegradable” are not the same. Understanding the difference is key to responsible disposal and sustainability.
Compostable
Break down into natural elements under industrial or home composting conditions.
- Products like bagasse tableware and PLA-lined paper cups can be returned to compost facilities.
- Composting helps return nutrients to the soil and reduces landfill impact.
Biodegradable
Naturally break down over time under environmental conditions.
- Our paper and cardboard products are fully biodegradable and can break down naturally in soil or composting conditions.
- Even without industrial composting, paper products will return to the environment safely, leaving minimal residue.
