Cutting down trash with bamboo packaging

Universal Biopack, a company based in the Philippines, is offering an eco-friendly alternative to plastic packaging. Instead of using traditional plastic, they have developed a mixture of bamboo and cassava as the primary material for their packaging products. The company sells these biodegradable and compostable packaging solutions to restaurants and manufacturers, providing a more sustainable option for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact. Bamboo, a fast-growing and renewable resource, is the main component of the packaging, while cassava, a starch-rich root vegetable, is also incorporated into the mix. This innovative approach aims to address the growing concerns over plastic waste and its detrimental effects on the environment. By providing a biodegradable alternative, Universal Biopack is working to contribute to the reduction of plastic pollution and promote a more circular economy.
