Composting your cutlery and drinking straws and in the end backyard flowers, plants and grass will love it!
Huh, we hear you say. Yes, we say.
Organize your summer BBQ, your children’s party or just some cocktails carefree, because we invented a compostable non-plastic, which is different form biodegradable*.
Our straws and cutlery is made from PLQ, which is made from wheat. Just throw it in the compost bin and it will be composted. This means that within 12 weeks at least 90% of the original mass is smaller than 2 mm. After that, it is a nutrient for soil, trees, shrubs, plants, flowers and grass. No more waste.
Our straws and cutlery are made from PLQ, which is made from wheat. Just throw it in compost bin and after that, it is a nutrient for your soil, trees, shrubs, plants, flowers and grass. No more waste. We’re working on home compostable and will let you know when that’s done.
But there’s more.
PLQ is made from the residuals from wheat in India that will otherwise be burned, blowing 503.2 tons of CO2 into the air. We bring it to Europe by container ship that emits 12.8 tons. Turning wheat into PLQ used for cutlery and drinking straws saves an amazing 490.4 tons.
We believe that is plantastiq.
And this is just the beginning. We’re working on home compostable and let you know when that’s done. Check out our website, products and stories and stay tuned.
*Compared to biodegradable which is not time-bound and cannot be just thrown away. When thrown in the bin, it will end up to be burned after 45 days in Europe and 125 in the US, so that is still waste.
