Wheat bran turns waste into treasure, opening a new green journey!

This issue mainly introduces you to the edible dinner plates made of wheat bran launched by the Polish company Biotrem. This kind of dinner plate is an innovative product launched by the company to solve the environmental protection problem of disposable tableware. Its characteristics are remarkable. It is not only edible, but also environmentally friendly and degradable, and can be naturally decomposed in a short time. It is suitable for hot and cold food and oven microwave ovens. It is widely used in daily dining and outdoor activities, greatly reducing plastic pollution, bringing economic benefits to enterprises, and effectively improving people's environmental awareness.

 

 

Environmentally friendly and fast degradation

 

Under suitable humidity conditions, wheat bran dinner plates can be naturally degraded within one month. If it rains, the degradation time is only two weeks. Compared with ordinary disposable plastic tableware that takes 100 to 1000 years to degrade, wheat bran dinner plates have little impact on the environment.

 

 

The dinner plate is edible

 

The ingredients of the wheat bran dinner plate are only water and wheat bran, without other chemicals and artificial additives, so it can not only be used to hold food, but also edible. At the Stella Polaris picnic music festival in Denmark in 2016, a food truck chef, Trung Tien Do, boldly "integrated" the plate with the food. He used the plate as a pizza crust and placed the pizza fillings inside the plate, creating a creative bran pizza.

 

 

 

Suitable for both hot and cold

 

This plate made of bran can not only be used to hold a variety of hot and cold foods to ensure the freshness and deliciousness of the food, but is also compatible with many ovens and microwave ovens, making the heating or cooking process more convenient and efficient.

 

 

Wide source and low cost

 

In Europe and the United States, wheat production is abundant, so bran resources are extremely abundant, enough to support mass production - one ton of bran can be easily converted into up to 10,000 plates or bowls, and the entire production process is extremely cheap. Biotrem can now be mass-produced, bringing more possibilities for plastic-free life.

 

Summary

 

The edible bran plate developed by Biotrem provides new ideas and methods to solve the environmental pollution problem caused by disposable tableware, reminding us to pay attention to environmental protection while pursuing convenience. "We wanted to create products that could completely replace plastic, and even replace paper packaging," said Dawid Wróblewski, project manager at Biotrem. "Biotrem decomposes naturally in the environment in just 30 days, compared to the hundreds of years it takes for plastic to decompose, so it's a clear winner."
