Fishing nets made from compostable Biodolomer biomaterial instead of nylon will drastically reduce the problems with ghost nets and CO2 emissions. Biodolomer biomaterials have a density higher than water and will sink to the bottom, where they will biodegrade without leaving any microplastics. Fishing nets GAIA startpage Fishing nets Nylon fishing nets that get lost at sea are a big problem for maritime life. Ghost nets float around the oceans and become traps for mammals and fish killing hundreds of millions every year. Making nets out of compostable Biodolomer® biomaterial will drastically reduce this problem as they have a density higher than water and thus sink to the bottom of the ocean, where they will biodegrade and disappear. Leaving no microplastics and reducing CO2 emissions. An easy solution to a very big problem.

Coat hangers made from compostable Biodolomer biomaterial reduce waste and CO2 emissions drastically without compromising function. If a hanger accidentally finds itself in nature it will biodegrade and disappear without leaving any microplastics. Coat hangers GAIA startpage Coat hangers Traditionally, plastic is used to produce many things, Coat hangers for example. By making coat hangers out of compostable Biodolomer® biomaterial, you drastically reduce waste and CO2 emissions. While still achieving precisely the same function. And a hanger that accidentally finds itself in nature will biodegrade and disappear by itself. Leaving no microplastics. Contact us

What if you sold your products in packaging that was as compostable as their contents? Food and beverages are the very essence of recycling. What we eat and drink sooner or later will decompose and be useful in a new cycle. But now we often put food and drink in packaging made of plastic. That will stay in the oceans or landfills for years and years and years…But the good news are that many food products can be put in packaging made of Biodolomer® from GAIA Biomaterials. Everything from milk bottles to meat trays.

Everything from milk bottles to meat trays. Many of these disposable products can become biodegradable by switching the material used in manufacturing from plastic to Biodolomer®. They actually even becomes compostable. (Put a bag in the ground, wait a few months, and see what has happened). Trays and containers, grocery bags, bottles, jars…Biodolomer® is a fully compostable material that contains calcium carbonate. Not only does it not create plastic waste that lives forever. It contributes to 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.

Did you know that it's fully possible to write content that does not actually say anything but you can make it look like its very interesting. GAIA startpage SISTERS EU PROJECT STOP FOOD WASTE CAMPAIGM #StopFoodWasteDay SISTERS EU Project Stop Food Waste Campaign #StopFoodWasteDay Stop Food Waste Day is an International Day of Action that takes place in April every year. The day aims to raise awareness about the issue of food waste and encourage people to take action to reduce the amount of food that is wasted around the world. Food waste is a major global issue, with an estimated one-third of all food produced for human consumption being lost or wasted every year. This equates to approximately 1.3 billion tonnes of food, which could feed the world’s hungry four times over. Food waste also has significant environmental and economic impacts, including the generation of greenhouse gas emissions, water wastage, and increased food prices. The aim of Stop Food Waste Day is to raise awareness about the issue of food waste and encourage people to take action to reduce it. There are many simple steps that individuals can take to reduce food waste, such as planning meals in advance, buying only what is needed, and storing food correctly to extend its shelf life. Businesses and organizations can also take action to reduce food waste by implementing waste reduction strategies, such as composting, donating surplus food to those in need, and working with suppliers to reduce overproduction. From April 17-28th, SISTERS EU Project organises a D&C campaign with many actions and exciting collaborations in order to raise awareness of food loss and waste at the consumption stage of the #FoodValueChain ! #SISTERSStopsFoodWaste Giveaway 👉Would you like to win this kit of #sustainable containers made 100% of recycled #organic materials to carry your food anywhere you go? 🗳️ Participate in the SISTERS #StopFoodWaste giveaway by following the steps below: 1.
