Containers that can change the world
Naturally made, 100% biodegradable
Discover our sturdy eco-friendly bottles and containers made purely from sugarcane waste and designed to help make our planet a better place
FIRST PROBLEM
Excessive plastic bottle consumption
Did you know?
● Switzerland uses 1.6 million PET plastic bottles a year
● Plastic bottles can only be recycled two times
The PET materials used for everyday containers degrade with each recycle. As the plastic deteriorates, it isn’t strong enough to make another bottle, so manufacturers have to mix it with other virgin materials to be used in other industries, meaning we continue taking natural resources from the Earth, damaging the idea of a sustainable, circular economy.
FIRST PROBLEM
Excessive plastic bottle consumption
SECOND PROBLEM
Sugarcane waste
SECOND PROBLEM
Sugarcane waste
● 50% of sugarcane becomes waste bagasse
● Bagasse is then simply sent to landfill
The sugarcane industry has a global waste problem. While 50% of bagasse is burnt to fuel sugarcane production, the other 50% is sent to landfill, and can even end up in freshwater, absorbing oxygen, which can kill fish populations.
But transforming bagasse into other products is simple, uses less than three components, and is completely free of polylactic acid (PLA) and petroleum. Even better, changing bagasse into a strong material doesn’t add competition to the food industry.
The PLA it uses comes from the bagasse rather than food sources such as corn, so we use waste rather than a valuable food commodity or contribute to biodiversity issues. In fact, India is a country that produces 35% more sugarcane than needed, so this new approach can actually help battle unnecessary surplus and wastage.
Two problems, one solution
Compostable, non-toxic, GMO-free containers
Two problems, one solution
Compostable, non-toxic, GMO-free containers
We’ve come up with a solution for both the plastic bottle problem and the issues facing the sugarcane industry. Our team makes biodegradable disposable containers and bottles from mountains of bagasse waste that are never going to be used, without needing petroleum.
So you get bottles that are 100% natural, compostable and biodegradable. You don’t have to worry about material ending up in a landfill, staying there for years to come, as all products can be safely returned to the earth.

We make sure we use bagasse from non-GMO sugarcane and take care of the process all through to recycling. Take a look at the strategic steps we take to provide you with the best quality eco-friendly containers for your bran
A circular economy
Grown, used, and composted
Our product’s lifecycle goes from earth to earth. With a circular economy, we can prevent unnecessary landfill. It’s a sustainable way to provide consumers with bottles and eco-friendly packaging that helps us build a better planet.

Changing the world
One bottle at a time
When creating our biodegradable disposable containers, we only use non-GMO sugarcane and we don’t source from Brazil, where the industry forms part of the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest. Once all components are integrated, the biomass creates our unique reusable containers.
This is just the beginning of our plans, and there is much more to come. We have visions for many environmental projects, raising awareness on waste management and improving home composting around the world.
We use bagasse to provide the world with eco-friendly products:
1. We don’t compete with the food industry; we just use what they don’t
2. Our products don’t negatively impact biodiversity as the waste is already there, we’re just transforming it
3. Brazilian sugarcane causes environmental problems, so we stick to bagasse from other, responsible sources

Many manufacturers will reduce the weight of a container as it’s an easy way to reduce the amount of plastic used.
This reduces the environmental impact but may affect the properties and resilience of the packaging.
We find a balance by using waste materials with the perfect weight. This is very important for products running on an automatic closing line to ensure you get the best quality that will last longer.
Container
We create our sturdy and versatile biodegradable containers as an eco-friendly alternative to their petrol-based counterparts, using PLA from sugarcane so as not to create competition with the food industry.
Our certified containers offer a wide range of applications, particularly our strong bottles, available in a transparent style with a beige lid, thanks to the addition of linen in the bagasse-vegetal mix.
Bottle
Our designers have created a wide range of eco-friendly bottle designs so you can easily find the right container for your liquids.
From classic round designs to bottles that withstand sparkling liquids and unique ball and flask shapes, we have curated a collection that can support a whole variety of different liquids.
It means you can choose a unique, striking design that makes your product stand out on the shelf for its beauty as much as for its ecological credentials..
Cap
Each of our bottles comes with eco-friendly caps that are entirely recyclable and reusable.
We make every cap from renewable resources such as bagasse that doesn’t affect the food production of sugarcane, ensuring a truly ecological solution.
We invested in creating eco-friendly caps so that you can offer your customers completely eco-friendly packaging, without the worry about how to dispose of their bottle caps.
