GENERAL QUESTIONS
Why choose plant-based tableware over traditional disposables?
Traditional disposables like Styrofoam and plastic leach toxins into your food and create waste that lasts for centuries. Our plant-based products protect your health and decompose naturally, leaving nothing harmful behind.
Are your products free from PFAS and BPA?
Yes! All our plant-based products are completely free from PFAS, BPA, and other harmful chemicals. We never compromise on safety.
What are Forever Chemicals?
Forever Chemicals is a nickname for a group of synthetic chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). They're known for their extreme persistence in the human body and the environment because they don't break down easily.
What are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)?
PFAS are man-made chemicals made up of carbon-fluorine bonds, which are among the strongest in chemistry. These strong bonds make PFAS resistant to degradation, leading to their accumulation over time. There are over 12,000 types of PFAS, including: Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
Why are PFAS used in traditional single- use Styrofoam and paper products?
PFAS are added to single-use items to make them resistant to oil, grease, water, and other liquids and stains. Additionally, they make the products non-stick and durable.
What is Bisphenol-A (BPA)?
BPA is an industrial chemical used to manufacture strong and durable plastics.
Why are BPAS used in traditional single- use plastic products?
Helps harden and strengthen items like disposable cups, plates, and cutlery.
