Description

Coop, the largest Swiss retailer is selling Wellcompost® single-use cutlery in their shops nationwide. FluidSolids® Biocomposite FoodGrade 8A is the “food-contact compliant grade” biocomposite developed in Switzerland by FluidSolids®. Produced from organic side-streams and fully home-compostable, it is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective raw material, suitable for direct and indirect food-contact applications. FluidSolids' collaboration with Coop not only makes the sustainable alternative available to end consumers. It also supports Coop's efforts to reduce the use of plastics throughout the company.

Impact & Result

The new Coop own-brand disposable cutlery is made entirely from biomass from by-products in Switzerland and decomposes in household compost. This means we can save around 5.8 tons of plastic every year with the new cutlery.

Solution Spotlight

The technology aims at mass-producing parts entirely made from biomass. A technology to produce home-compostable and recyclable composites from residuals and waste streams. FluidSolids® biocomposites feature mechanical and ecological properties, making them suitable for use in countless application areas.
