‘Bora’ is a biodegradable bioplastic specifically for application in disposable utensils. Comprised entirely of natural ingredients, this material distinguishes itself from conventional plastics by its rapid biodegradability post-usage. Unlike its traditional counterparts, which take decades to decompose, ‘Bora’ dissolves after a single meal, mitigating environmental impact and yielding zero waste. Furthermore, the vibrant color accents contribute to enhancing the dining experience.
Preface
Studies show that the shape and texture of utensils have a significant influence on individuals’ perception of food flavor.
Due to the biodegradable properties, these utensils are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of after a single use.
‘Bora’ is a great alternative to traditional disposable utensils, as the bold colors and multisensory textures enhance users’ dining experiences.
