Industrial vs. Home #Composting 🌱
Solinatra has you covered, but industrially compostable products are not always home compostable and vice versa. 🌿 🌏
Compost responsibly! #Solinatra makes it easy, Solinatra is both. 🌱

"Does it really compost?"
This image shows what remains of cutlery after 45 days in a simulated industrial composting test.
The biomaterial fork shows greater degradation than the wood, but only crumbs remain of the fork made of Solinatra!

ALT Under the caption “Does it really compost?” is a slightly dirty looking wooden fork, a semi degraded biomaterial fork and the crumbs of an almost fully degraded Solinatra fork.
We would like to see a review of the inclusion of biomaterials in the single-use plastics ban - due to be introduced in October.
Simon Girdlestone, FSB member and co-founder of @solinatra, a producer of biodegradable plastics, spoke to @BBCNews 👇

✅A ban on single-use plastic is a good thing.
‼️ But also banning compostable bio-materials that can reduce our reliance on fossil-fuel plastics, makes no sense at all.
📺Tune in tonight to watch the full story from FSB member @solinatra on @BBCLookEast. #sustanability
Solinatra is the truly sustainable solution to single use plastics: 100% natural, compostable, biodegradable.

Illustrating the flow of materials the #ButterflyDiagram shows the potential of a #CircularEconomy
🦋Two wings, two cycles: biological cycle uses regenerative materials, whilst technical keeps materials in a loop of reuse and recycling
Together to form a sustainable future🌎
ALT A diagram visualising the circular economy, known as the butterfly diagram due it looking like two wings coming together in the centre. There are two main cycles, on the left the biological cycle and on the right the technical cycle, they join in the middle and show the continuous flow of materials in a circular economy.

ALT Text on green background: What is Solinatra made of?
Utilising plant-waste and agricultural products as the base for our materials, we divert and give a new use to waste streams. Byproducts from the harvest of crops, such as wheat or rapeseed, or waste coffee grinds are transformed into a new material. The ingredients vary by material grade, but all of the feedstocks are 100% naturally derived and contain no fossil-based ingredients.
ALT Text on green background: What can be made with Solinatra?
Different grades of Solinatra material are available to suit the requirements of various applications, including food contact packaging. The material processes in standard injection moulding machinery and can be used to produce items such as coffee capsules, cutlery, beauty packaging, plant pots, toys, golf tees …the possibilities are endless!
