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! 💚

The future is regenerative products 🦸♀️
Big thanks to all 💚

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)!!

We used to wrap our big boxes in kraft paper.
But as soon as it was more than one box, Alexis had to “make” a box to ship them in.
Literally he was downsizing an up-cycled box to make it fit our size. #choosetoreuse
We now moved to these new home compostable mailers.
They go in your home compost or in your green bin.
They fit our values. They become a new resources. They feed our soil. They make us positive about the future ❤️
