Addressing the global plastic waste crisis
The ocean has become an enormous dump for our plastics. Microplastics are finding its way into our food and our current landfill/ incineration solution is not sustainable. What are we doing about it?
12
million tonnes of
are thrown away yearly. These mostly end up in landfills.
150
kg
of food waste is
by the average person living in a city
30
kg
of disposable foodware waste
is generated by the average person living in a city
Despite demand, recycling sustainably remains difficult.
Meet Bio24
Bio24 is an elegant way to recycle single-use foodware and food waste. It comprises three parts: NEUTRIA foodware, Bio24 digestion, and compost enrichment.
24hrs, From Table to Farm
Bio24 is an industry partnered programme that ensures the waste from single-use foodware and food waste gets renewed, from table to farm. This way, consumers can continue to enjoy the conveniences of single-use foodware and F&Bs achieves zero-waste without costly operational changes.
The Bio24 Process
Neutria Foodware
NEUTRIA® material is a bioactive polyester derived from plant based sources. It breaks down rapidly upon deactivation in the Bio24 digestor. Sturdy and durable with no compromise in functionality, it’s easy to go green with NEUTRIA.
- ✓ Wide range of packaging solutions for hot and cold food and drinks
- ✓ Durable and functional
- ✓ Made from organic plant materials that decompose rapidly in our Bio24 digestor
Bio24 Digestion
The Bio24 digestor comprises a catalytic degradation process which significantly reduces the composting time of the NEUTRIA® material – chemical free. Coupled with natural enzyme action, the NEUTRIA® material is reduced to compost in just 24hrs.
Compost Enrichment
After 24 hours in the digestor, foodware and food waste turns into nutrient-enriched, organic compost ready to pack and send to farms.
TRIA x The Soup Spoon
We recently partnered with Soup Spoon to take on their food waste and convert it into compost through our digestor. Take a look at the video below to see how it works!
“For us, to take it to the next level is to look at building a much bigger ecosystem.”
