Source of Greendine TM |
| |
Sugarcane bagasse being normally burned off and discarded, we capture this manufacturing
....byproduct and reuse it in forms for a wide variety of tableware. |
Sugarcane is an annual plant and its fiber returns to the nature effectively.
No trees are cut down -
....this
is a renewable resource. |
Greendine TM made from annual plant fiber biodegrades
and composts readily, similarly to
....any
other fibrous garden wastes. |

Biodegradability |
| |
ASTM D6400: Testing and certification of a “biodegradable/compostable” product,
under which
....compostability
encompasses three factors of biodegradability, disintegration and ecotoxicity. |
Biodegradability shows quantitatively the inherent nature of the material to be
consumed by the microorganisms.
....Biodegradability
protects the environment by showing that the material will not accumulate. |
|
Disintegration measures whether the material breaks down and falls apart. |
Ecotoxicity testing determines whether the material after composting shows any
inhibition
....on
plant growth or the survival of soil or aquatic fauna. |
