E’PLUCH : USE FOOD WASTES TO CREATE DISPOSABLE TABLEWARE, REDUCE PLASTIC CONSUMPTION, AND PRESERVE ENVIRONMENT

E’pluch : 100% alimentary, 100% natural

E’pluch is a single-use tableware composed of food and waste food. It is eco-friendly and completely recyclable.

Every year, the agroalimentary industry produces millions of wastes lashings. Some of these wastes can be re-used. E’pluch concept finds a way to give value to these wastes, especially peels of fruits and vegetable, to create new tableware.

A simple process :

-retrieval of peels in agroalimentary factories

-washing out

-moulding, drying and compacting

Peels are blended with egg-white (to glue) and salt (to preserve).

So, E’pluch is a solution to decrease plastic consumption and avoid wastefulness, it can protect our planet and its resources.
