The Plastic And Paper Straw Alternative
BambooM! bioadhesive provides an innovative alternative to traditional straws and disposable tableware by offering products made from bamboo fiber, designed to replace single-use paper and plastic items. Here’s why bamboo-based products made with the BambooM! bio-adhesive are an excellent sustainable substitute for non-compostable options.
1. Biodegradability and Compostability
Lastic products are 100% biodegradable and designed to decompose fully in a natural environment within approximately 250 days, unlike plastic items that can persist for hundreds of years. Additionally, these products are certified compostable, meaning they can be broken down either in home composts or as biodegradable waste. This feature makes them a sustainable choice that prevents pollution from long-lasting waste in landfills and oceans.
2. Bamboo as a Sustainable Resource
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants, reaching maturity in just three years, which allows it to be harvested sustainably without significant deforestation. It has a high carbon absorption rate, meaning its cultivation helps reduce atmospheric carbon, combating climate change. Using bamboo instead of paper or plastic not only protects forests but also helps mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Toxic-Free Composition
Lastic products avoid harmful plastics, PLA (polylactic acid), and other toxic additives. Unlike conventional plastic products, which can release microplastics and chemicals into the environment, Lastic bamboo-based items are safe for both human health and ecosystems.
4. Versatile and Practical
The company offers a range of products including straws, utensils, containers, and lids tailored for both personal and professional use in restaurants, catering, and other foodservice industries. Their bamboo fiber material is designed to be compatible with standard production equipment, meaning manufacturers can adopt Lastic products without needing extensive equipment overhauls.
5. Certifications for Quality and Safety
Lastic has received extensive certifications for its products, including DIN and BPI compostability certifications, FDA food safety certifications, and compliance with other international standards. These certifications reassure consumers and businesses of product safety and environmental responsibility.
By switching to Lastic bamboo-based straws and tableware, businesses can significantly reduce their environmental footprint, meet consumer demand for sustainable options, and avoid contributing to plastic pollution.
