who do we target?

Our typical customer is the candy industry, but we can also expand to matches, dry nuts and sweets. All in all, we work with food manufacturers that seek an ecological solution to conventional plastic food packaging.

Our services.

• Our logistics department is efficient and ensures the distribution of our product worldwide. We work with the world’s leading transport companies. 

Our Product

• Momentarily, our main product is a packaging for Tic-Tac style mints, but our R&D department is working on perfecting the package. We hope in the future to manage to make food packaging for other foods, like nuts, dry fruit and breadsticks.
• Made out of 100% biodegradable bioplastic and 100% recyclable paper, our product is not only environmentally friendly, but also an efficient packaging and our bioplastic film is based on algae extract and glycerol.

       

The impact of conventional plastics on the environment.

• It is well known that plastic is probably the world‘s leading pollution cause. A plastic bag can kill numerous animals because they take so long to disintegrate. Most plastics are made from petroleum or natural gas, which will eventually deplete.
• The interest in environmental issues is growing and there are increasing demands to develop materials which do not burden the environment significantly.

Aims and visions, the future is bright!

• Offering an alternative to the conventional plastics like PET, PP, etc. used in the food packaging industry and raise awareness of the environmental impact.
• We aim to have strong collaborations with the aforementioned companies and also protect planet Earth and its resources, raise awareness about the global pollution and also offer educational programs  and workshops for international students.

So, how did we do it?

For recipe 1:

We heated the glycerol solution until boiling and then added the sodium alginat, stirring constantly.

For recipe 2:

We started off by heating the glyercol solution and added 45 mg salt and 0.75 grams of sorbitol then to thicken the solution we added 3 grams of starch.

Wanna know about bioplastics??

Ever wondered how plastics are made? i bet you're picturing massive factories, complex chemical formulas and hi-tech equipment. Wrong!!!!

For our product we used two recipes:

Recipe 1:

• 1 tsp na-Alginat.
• 200 ml of 1% glycerol solution.

Recipe 2:

• 3 grams of starch.
• 45 mg salt.

• 120 ml of 1% glycerol solution.

• 0.75 grams sorbitol.
