Manufacturing of single-use organic cutlery from agricultural waste.

Long description

With increasing awareness against plastic, many governments started imposing a ban on single-use plastic items including plastic drinking straws. Right now, the closest plastic straw alternative is paper straw which is not 100% eco-friendly as it has petroleum wax coating and besides trees are being cut to make paper. Other organic alternatives like Hay, Bamboo and Edible straws are too costly and cannot be produced in huge volumes due to raw material limitations. On the other hand, our country faces severe air pollution due to burning agricultural waste including the fallen palm leaves generated in tons every day. Evlogia provides a solution in the form of Leafy Straws that are 100% organic drinking straws made out of fallen dried palm leaves. Evlogia has patented solutions for regular and tetra-pak forms or Leafy straws. By converting the fallen dried palm leaves waste to useful Leafy straws, Evlogia also helps reducing air pollution and also generate employment for rural women. Leafy straws are the most cost-effective plastic alternative while also better in quality than other options. They are readily compostable and can stay intact in liquids for hours without getting soggy. They have natural inbuilt plant wax and can be made in custom and uniform sizes. Leafy straws are US FDA, EU and Health Canada approved for direct food contact compliance and are being exported to UK, Australia, USA and Canada through our distributing partners. By its waste to wealth business model Leafy Straws help to reduce plastic pollution.
