Compostable
Sunflower seed shells are a waste product of the sunflower oil production and therefore, they are 100% biodegradable. Innovative and home compostable products can be made from this material.
What is special about this material?
The raw-material is a type of bio-PBS based on cornstarch and combined with sunflower seed shells – a waste product from the food industry. In our bio-plastic processing we give these shells a second life.
Soil degradability has been certified by TÜV Austria.
Compostable plant pot
The pot can be planted in the soil together with the plant. It keeps stable during the cultivation and growing phase. The composting process starts only after planting pot and plant into the soil. It also prevents damaging the roots and so-called plant-shocks.
Available in different sizes.
Refinement: 4c print and laser
Compostable reusable coffee cup
