nature’s tableware

Products from renewable raw materials Disposable tableware and food packaging from renewable raw materials meet the key criteria of sustainability. The interest in, and the demand for these promising products is increasing strongly in the industrialised countries. The Swiss company Pacovis AG in Stetten has already been carrying out pioneering work in this area for some years. Persistently, and with a great deal of idealism, Pacovis has pursued the goal of being able to offer a comprehensive range of products to the market.

The brand name naturesse速 has been launched in order to underline the natural touch of the products, and has been registered as a trade mark.

In the meantime, several product ranges are now available under this trade mark, with a wide range of attractive designs. We are very pleased to have this opportunity to provide you with a total overview of our range of products through this brochure.

Naturesse raw materials are CO2-neutral There is one subject that is very important to all of us, especially in the field of disposable dishes.

Even now, renewable raw materials can make an important contribution to the preservation of fossil resources. Thanks to their CO2neutrality, they are a great help in the protection of the environment, and are biologically degradable, thereby closing the recycling loop and fulfilling the principle of sustainability in a model way. The palm leaf and sugar cane lines in particular represent the recycling of waste materials: residual materials that would otherwise be discarded unused.

Palm leaf The raw material for aesthetically pleasing, high-quality tableware is provided by the nut palm «Adaka». This unique plant, from which the fruit is also harvested and used, continually produces leaves during its growth period. Up to now, these have been burned as useless waste material. Indian families now collect these leaves locally and take them to the production sites, where they are cleaned and are then pressed into exclusive dishes and plates in tools heated to 120°C. The surface pattern of each item is unique. The material is also «Food Safe», and is so tough that no additional treatment, such as lamination, is necessary. The products are taste-neutral, watertight and heat resistant, and are ideal for baking or for use in microwaves ovens.

Sugar cane The use of sugar cane for the production of attractive disposable tableware is a particularly elegant solution. This residual material arises in large quantities from sugar extraction in the production of cane sugar. The particularly tough fibres, which have normally been burned up to now, can be used as a valuable biomass. Up to 50 disposable plates can be produced from the residue of a single sugar-cane stalk. Tableware made from sugar cane is stylish, light and nevertheless very stable. It is also water-resistant, and is suitable for use in the microwave, and thereby also for cold and hot areas.

PLA Until recently, it was virtually impossible to manufacture highly transparent and dimensionally stable materials from renewable sources. Only since the development of a new type of fermentation process has it been possible to produce a natural alternative to polyethylene, which is dependent on mineral oil. This material, which is produced from natural starch, can be moulded into almost any shape, and can also be produced as a film. It is taste-neutral and heat-resistant up to approx. 40째C . Like all the other naturesse products, PLA is bio-degradable.

Cellulose Natural cellulose is available worldwide in virtually unlimited quantities. The cellulose itself is made from wood that is largely obtained in the context of forest thinning operations. This gives the forest the room to breathe and grow, thereby promoting regeneration. Cellulose is the raw material for naturesse coffee beakers, providing them with an additional, natural, starch coating.

The German Fraunhofer Institute has developed a mouldable material in combination with limestone, from which stable and hygienic cutlery can be moulded.

Vegetable oil and vegetable starches There is a general over-production of starch throughout Europe. It is therefore a sensible idea to process this material further. We all know the semi-transparent shopping bags that mostly end up as waste after use. Whether chain bags, shirt carrier bags, or foils, all our packaging aids are produced from vegetable oil or starch, and are compostable according to EN 13432. After their initial use, they can be reused as green waste bags. These starch-based bags and pouches are breathable, very stable and extremely tear-resistant.

COMPO-BOX FOR THE DISPOSAL OF GREEN WASTE: SIMPLE, CLEAN AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY In combination with the actively breathing Compo-Bag compost bag, the innovative design of the Compo-Box ensures a constant air circulation within the collected organic material. Unpleasant smells or mould growth are actively prevented. The green waste can thereby be stored in the house for up to 7 days without any problems.

Natural Packaging Solutions The packaging of a product is an extremely important promotional instrument.

Very different effects can be achieved depending on the type of packaging, its design and the choice of material. The common denominator of all the packaging articles presented here is their natural origin. Depending on the type of packaging desired, renewable raw materials such as sugar cane fibre, palm leaves, PLA or vegetable starches are used. In addition to the sustainability of the raw materials used, some of the products also provide functional advantages. For example, the foils and bags made from vegetable starch, which can be printed in up to eight colours, are breathable. This ensures that the packaged food remains fresh and crispy. The shelf life of the products can thereby be extended by several days.

Quality assurance Through constant contact with various independent research and certification institutes, our products are tested for all the major properties. The food safety properties are of particular importance here, as well as the residue-free compostability according to EN 13432 and/or their bio-degradation properties. In addition to the impeccable quality of the products on offer, we also place great importance on fair working conditions at our partners’ locations. In order to guarantee the verifiability of the conditions, our producers have committed themselves to the Code laid down by the BSCI, an international organisation of high standing.
