We\'ve been around since 2003 (although we left for a bit and came back in 2018, when the world woke up to single use plastics).We wouldn\'t call ourselves eco-warriors and we have never tied ourselves to a tree, but we do believe that everyone can make a difference.Think of us as concerned citizens with a lofty mission to say \"Goodbye\" to petrol based single use plastics.We do this with a solution led approach, as we hate barriers, if you want to use a straw or take-away coffee, why shouldn\'t you, it\'s not the product that is the problem, it\'s what it is made from so we change the material to a plant based material, no need for a barrier.We have Europe largest range of compostable packaging products with over 400 products, all designed to replace single use petrol based plastic with a plant based compostable alternative.You can buy from us with confidence, as 100% of our products are compostable, sustainable and biodegradable.They naturally add positively to the environment they are disposed of in.Our mission StatementTo solve the un-natural problem of plastics using a natural plant based solution.
