Nothing is wasted with Ecostar
Oleo-Fats is raising the bar on sustainable production and consumption with ECOSTAR, the first fully compostable cutlery in the Philippines. Our eco-friendly cutlery is made from biomass material (plant-based) that can be composted after use, making it the best alternative to single-use plastic spoon and fork. And this is what sets ECOSTAR apart from other bioplastic cutleries in the market.
Bioplastics are plastic materials that are either bio-based, biodegradable, or both. Contrary to popular knowledge, not all bioplastics are biodegradable. That’s because the biodegradation of these materials depends on their chemical structure and the location and temperature where the bioplastics may end up to. Moreover, not all biodegradable plastics are compostable. Biodegradable plastics may be chemically engineered to decompose in soil or water while compostable plastics break down into compost under certain conditions—they must decompose at a rate similar to the other materials being composted and must not leave any toxic residue. These standards are successfully met by ECOSTAR.??
ECOSTAR is created to provide better solutions to waste management without sacrificing quality and safety. It’s made from Biorez which is an internationally Seedling(TM) certified compostable material. Its selected bio-based component gives it longer shelf life and makes it pest and fungi-resistant. As the first fully compostable plastic cutlery in the country, it contributes to zero-waste consumption and enables circular waste-to-material stream. And by opting to use plant-based materials over fossil fuels in making polymer, Oleo-Fats further contributes to the lowering of carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions.
So what are you waiting for? Take your green lifestyle a little further with ECOSTAR.?
