Why raw material wood?
Wood is a low-cost, renewable raw material, environmentally friendly and biodegradable. It is a popular material in many areas of daily life. Since birch wood can be used untreated and does not need to be bleached, it is a pure and absolutely tasteless raw material.
During production, we expressly refrain from rainforest clearing. Whether toothpicks, roulade skewers, wooden forks or plate papers, all NATUREStar products are food-safe and therefore approved for direct contact with dry, moist and greasy foods.
Thanks to a special surface treatment, the wood is stable and smooth, splintering is prevented, so that skewers and cutlery can be used as disposable cutlery without hesitation. Our "to-go" cups for hot drinks are made of environmentally friendly cardboard and coated with PLA (corn starch) on the inside, as well as fully compostable. They meet all requirements of the European standard EN 13432 for guaranteed compostability. Here, after 80 days of professional composting, more than 90% of the material is completely biodegradable. After six months, even the smallest particles (less than 2 mm) are completely metabolized.
