The utensils are made from an innovative composite material that replaces most of the conventional plastic with bioplastic made from castor bean oil. Glass fibers and polyamide are added to ensure long-term durability and a high heat-resistance.

Carbon dioxide generated during manufacturing is to a large extent compensated by the carbon dioxide absorbed during plant growth. The resulting carbon footprint is less than half compared to similar products made from conventional plastic. For more information on carbon footprint calculations, see here.
