We don’t need to introduce the negative effects that disposable plastic has on the environment.
The expected decay time of plastic products, PET bottles and plastic bags is around 200-1000 years. Seeing the data, it is our duty to consider eco-friendly, recyclable or easily degradable alternatives to make sure that we create a livable planet for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Eco-conscious alternatives for plastic
We have great opportunities in many areas of our lives to protect our world while not giving up our consumer goods. This is how the plastic bags were replaced by tote bags, the plastic bottles were replaced by flasks, and the traditional toothbrushes got replaced by bamboo toothbrushes. There are some products however that require plastic to keep up the quality. Fortunately, thanks to the technological advancements we now have a change to produce eco-friendly plastic.
What is eco-friendly plastic?
Plastic becomes a bio-plastic when it is either derived from biomass (~ plant origin) or is degradable.
We use three types of bioplastics in our tableware range. All are plant-based, with biomass contents ranging from 33% to 100%. Compared to fossil, petroleum-based plastics, the production of plant-based plastics has a smaller ecological footprint and orders of magnitude less greenhouse gas production.
Our newest tableware is made from recyclable organic plastics that can be reused, while our earlier but still available product line is made from industrially compostable, degradable materials.
Our separable baby food products are based on sugar cane, while our compostable baby food products are largely made from organic starch, cellulose, natural wax and fibre. What they have in common is that they are made using a significant amount of renewable resources.
Dinnerware made from plant-based plastics has similar properties to traditional plastics, they are durable, hard-wearing and function perfectly, but because of their organic origin they offer a more environmentally friendly solution than their petroleum-based counterparts.
Familym products are premium quality and environmentally friendly. They are made from natural materials, so they are not harmful to health! They are easy to clean and can be used to give children hot or cold food.
