The World Oceans Day is almost here. And, if you are looking for products that can help with ocean plastic pollution, this page is just for you. Our range of everyday essentials, such as compostable cups, straws, and plates, is made without plastic or trees. Made straight from plants, our compostable range is here to help you follow a convenient lifestyle while being planet-safe at the same time. We lose over a million marine lives to ocean plastic pollution every year. And, the most problematic of all is single-use plastic products, which are often discarded in our oceans after a single use. That said, here's what's bad about single-use plastic products and 4 eco-products that can help you make greener waves. Single-Use Plastics & Ocean Plastic Pollution The problem with single-use plastics is that they are meant to be used just once. After a use span of just 20-30 minutes, these products are often dumped in trash bins and eventually make their way to our oceans. Moreover, since they are made from non-renewable resources like petroleum, they take a long time to break down in our ecosystem. Some single-use plastic products can take over 500 years to start breaking down. So, till then, these products float around in our oceans, leading to entanglement, choking and even death in marine life. But, there's more. Once it's time for these single-use plastic products to break down, they release toxins and microplastics into our ecosystem. In short, plastic never really goes away. These bits of microplastics end up entering our food chain after being ingested by marine life. Why Compostable Products Are Better? Unlike single-use plastic products, compostable products like our eco-friendly cups are made straight from plants. To be precise, our compostable cups are made from PLA, or polylactic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance found in plant starch. To put it simply, these cups and straws are made from cornstarch. With no plastic or trees, these eco-friendly products are also compostable. So, while single-use plastic products take over a century to even start breaking down in our ecosystem, these products take about 90-180 days to break down. Moreover, while plastic products further break down into microplastics, these products break down into nutrient-rich compost, which can be added to soil as manure. 4 Eco-Products To Switch To Now that you know why our compostable products are a better choice than single-use plastic products, here are 5 eco-\products to switch to for World Oceans Day. Disposable Compostable Cups As stated above, our range of disposable cups is made from cornstarch. Plant-based and certified compostable, these plastic and tree-free cups are an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic cups. Plus, because they are certified for being compostable, they won't take a long time to break down in our ecosystem, like single-use plastic products do. In addition to being eco-friendly, our compostable party cups are also non-toxic. They also do not alter the taste of the drinks and are absolutely safe to serve sodas to your kids. Disposable Compostable Straw If you have tried sustainability before, we bet you must have given those flimsy paper straws a try. While they are a sustainable option, when compared to single-use plastic straws, they are not exactly handy. For starters, they get super mushy and almost dissolve in your drink after a couple of minutes. They can also sometimes alter the taste of the drink. However, our eco-friendly straw range is different. Also made from PLA corn starch, our compostable disposable straws are certified compostable. Plastic and tree-free, these straws are also anti-mushy, non-soggy and definitely do not disappear in your drink. Compostable Disposable Plates Whether you are hosting a gathering at your place or simply want to make your everyday meals more convenient, these compostable and disposable plates are simply a better option than single-use plastic or paper plates. Made from upcycled sugarcane bagasse, our compostable disposable plates are also certified compostable, like our PLA straw range. Besides being certified for being plant-based and compostable, these plates are also super sturdy. Available in different shapes and sizes, these plates can be a great way to practice sustainability without compromising on your convenience. Compostable Disposable Bowls Like our compostable plates, our disposable bowls are also made from plants. Made from upcycled sugarcane bagasse, these bowls are also USDA-certified for being plant-based. They are also certified for being home and industrial-compostable. These bowls, like our disposable plant-based plates, are also microwave-safe, oven-safe and non-toxic. Summing It Up And, that's a wrap-up on our compostable products. With World Oceans Day almost here, these 4 eco-products can be a great way to switch to sustainability without ever compromising on your convenience. Here for a guilt-free convenience, these products are plastic-free, tree-free and certified compostable.
