We can make it OK to use straws in your drink again. The hotel, restaurant, and catering businesses have taken a bad beating lately. Fast food containers and disposable soft drink cups littering the landscape have become a symbol of what’s bad with our times. And – we don’t get drinking straws anymore. This is where Biodolomer® from GAIA Biomaterials enter the scene. By switching the material used in manufacturing from plastic to Biodolomer®, a large part of these disposable products can become biodegradable. Even compostable. (Yup – put it in a hole in the ground and wait a few months and see what has happened). Cups, lids, straws, trays and containers, cutlery, aprons, and waste bags. Biodolomer® is a fully compostable material that contains calcium carbonate. Not only does it not create plastic waste that lives forever. It contributes to the earth’s natural fertility. Leaving no microplastics and resulting in some 80 % lower CO2 emissions.

Biodolomer® can be used in various production techniques, including film blowing, bottle blowing, thermoforming, injection, and extrusion coating.

Here are some hotel, restaurant, and catering products that can be produced using Bidolomer®:
