Renewable materials
Plastics made from renewable raw materials, also often called bio-based, reduce our dependency on limited fossil resources and have a significantly smaller carbon footprint than fossil-based plastics. We currently use three renewable raw materials for our GastroMax BIO products: wood fibre, sugarcane, and castor oil. All these products have OK Biobased certifications, which assures the share of bio-based raw materials in the products. We buy the renewable raw materials from reliable suppliers who we have long relationship with and require that the raw materials have applicable certificates.
The material of the GastroMax tableware items is derived from sugarcane. These products have more than 80% reduced carbon footprint compared to similar items in conventional plastic.
For GastroMax BIO cutting boards, we use a mix of sugarcane and wood fibre from Nordic spruce. The products have an up to 60% reduced carbon footprint compared to similar items in conventional plastic.
GastroMax BIO nylon utensils are made from a composite material that contains bio-based plastic made from castor bean oil. Glass fibres and polyamide are added to ensure long-term durability and high heat-resistance. Carbon footprint of the utensils is less than half compared to similar products made from conventional plastic.
