Very very VERY excited to launch our first ever @compostablealternatives product for 2022: a certified home compostable cling wrap that breaks down in your home compost/garden in a few weeks!
‼️ Limited quantities available
💲Pre-order price ends TONIGHT!
x4 rolls for AUD$22.20 (instead of $26.20)
x10 rolls for AUD$55.50 (instead of $65.50)
Kitchens, cafes, restaurants use cling wrap on a daily basis and we have heard from our customers it was very challenging to find an alternative option that does not contain plastic and that works!
Certified home compostable, our new cling wrap is made from a plant-based polymer coming from the sugarcane agriculture industry. It breaks down in < 120 days depending on its end-of-life disposal. Unlike other compostable options available, our cling wrap doesn’t require disposal in a green bin and can safely break down in home compost or in your garden.
With its 30cm pre-cut design, it is easy to unroll, cover your kitchen containers to keep your food fresh! It works exactly like traditional plastic cling wrap except …. it is not plastic!
🚜 By-product of the agriculture
🔬 Ingredient: PLA, PBAT
🍃 Certified home compostable to AS 5810
◉ Pre-cut every 30cm
⌈ Roll of 30m x 33cm

What a year as entrepreneurs moving to South Australia just under 3 years ago! (Part1)
Being invited to the Governor’s House as a #40under40 entrepreneur, receiving the @7newsaustralia @sayoungachiever Award in the Innovation category for our expansion to more certified home compostable products beyond our rye straws. Receiving a scholarship from the Industry Leaders Funds and the SA Government to further develop our skills in leadership and management, and being recognized as a Carbon Neutral Adelaide 2021 Winner for our achievements in Circular Economy! ✨🚀
2021 definitely kicked some goals for us, not in terms of business growth as we mostly focused on research and expanding our products portfolio with some AMAZING regenerative products, all certified for home compostability! But we are especially grateful over this past year for all the positive feedback, rewards, encouragement and opportunity we received, helping us to build strong foundations and credibility for 2022 to push our business with further growth and opportunities!
Many thanks for all your support! In entrepreneurship we often hear the 3 years cap is the hardest.. so let’s see how we do in 2022 💪💪

A very warm Happy New Year from Alexis and I ❤️ we came across many new challenges over the past year but it was full of life lessons and we learned so much. We are now moving towards a direction that aligns ever more with our values and the way we want to positively impact the world of packaging. We have been preparing lots of things in the background for 2022 and we can’t wait to have our new projects up and running!! 😊

This week, we won the Carbon Neutral Adelaide Circular Economy Award! 🌟 A shared achievement with the Uni of Adelaide and their Compostables on Campus campaign!
Since our launch last year, we have diverted more than 60.000 drinking straws from landfill and the environment! Now, beyond drinking straws, our sister brand Compostable alternatives has the ambitious mission to be Australia's leading e-commerce for Certified "Home Compostable" products! 🚀
Unlike current compostable options that require commercial composting facilities to become compost, our regenerative products can break down anywhere there is oxygen and microorganism, all in under 6 months! 🍃✅
Congratulations to the University of Adelaide, all the nominees, finalists and also to the Christie Walk project that was recognised as the winner of the People’s Choice Award.
Alexis and I would like to thank Minister David Speirs MP for his forever support since we launched our initiatives, ThincLab Waite for always encouraging us, Sandy Verschoor and the City of Adelaide for launching this amazing initiative and recognising local businesses trying to do things right while having big ambitions.
And MOST IMPORTANTLY our community that has always been behind us, pushing us and helping us for the better and the worst! 😜 Your support is very much appreciated everyone! 💚

Hey guess what?! We made our own goat cheese on the farm 🐐🧀 and it’s way easier that i thought it was!!

Typical farm picture. Old machineries, some trees here and there and kms of crops. 🌾🚜

The past few days on the farm have been rich in experience, memories and allowed us to recharge, reflect and pause. We often underestimate how important these pauses are in the entrepreneurial journey 🙌

While we've been waiting for the 21/22 harvest season to start, we are super excited to announce Alexis and myself received our Permanent Residency from the Australian Government! 🇦🇺🥳
This year has been super stressful for us, with no clear vision on our projects because of our visa status... We are now on our way to become Australians and we couldn't have hope for better news!!
While mother nature does her magic with our little rye plants, if you're currently looking for straws, please have a look at our sister business Compostable alternatives! We have these amazing grass and coconut straws, both also byproduct of the agriculture. We're also excited to see our range our certified home compostable products growing (link in our bio)!!
