Made from compostable, renewable plant-based resins.
BioPak’s disposable food-service products are designed to transform into healthy, new soil through composting. Before buying any single-use disposable product, even compostable ones, first consider how to reduce the amount that you buy and then consider whether the product is something you can reuse again. Finally, consider whether the product is something you can recycle when you are done with it. If after all those considerations, you still decide to purchase a single-use disposable product, we encourage you to choose one that also is compostable.
Choosing products that have lighter environmental footprints than their conventional counterparts is one small step toward sustainable living.
Plant-based plastic vs. petroleum-based plastic
Imagine that your family used 12 pieces of disposable plastic cutlery – one knife, fork, and spoon for each of four people – every week for a year (625 pieces).
By choosing plant-based plastic products (made from PLA) instead of conventional products (made from petroleum-based polystyrene – PS), you would be choosing to:
- Prevent approximately 14kg of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, similar to the amount of CO2 that 4.4 trees would absorb in a year; 1-5
- Save approximately 143 kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough to power a house for 4.9 days
