Thanks for landing on our page – we’re a small team located in Melbourne
passionate about tackling the issues we face with single-use plastics.
We believe if single-use plastics must be used then it should be made to biodegrade where it will be disposed of-
in a landfill, commercial or home compost facility.
We offer the logical choice with landfill-biodegradable or home compostable everyday plastic products.
Some of our products are made from 100% recycled plastic, and others with plant based materials.
They can be reused, most can be recycled, and if disposed of to landfill, they biodegrade into organic matter
producing a natural fertiliser (and no microplastics).
