We are a small family owned business in Oregon and everything is custom made to order and packaged by us. As an interior designer I have strong opinions about balancing simple, clean and minimalist items that are also cute, fun and tell our own story. I began by 3d modeling our own useful stuff and fun contraptions then making it on 3d printers. While we still make everything ourselves we have since branched out to also diligently search for and include more clever designs that meet my balanced tastes. In every case where the item isn’t designed by us we have permission, properly license, attribute, pay royalties, or simply donate money to them voluntarily.
Unlike other plastics, bioplastics don’t emit any toxic fumes when producing their final product or when they’re incinerated.
PLA products achieve international standards biodegradation. It does require certain conditions to degrade quickly such as an industrial composting facility where it can break down in 45–90 days.
Used in medical implants, industrial prototypes and countless household products. It is the most commonly used biodegradable polymer in clinical applications today. Examples range from, tissue engineering, implantable devices, screws, pins, plates, rods, etc.
65% less energy is used during its production procedure compared to normal plastics.
68% fewer greenhouse gasses are generated during its production procedure compared to normal plastics. The raw materials for most plastics require energy-intensive oil refining. Since plants get their energy from the Sun this plastic consumes nearly two-thirds less energy than traditional plastics.
No petrochemicals are used. It is made from plant waste from crops that absorbed co2 when growing such as corn, sugar cane, beets, etc.
