A commitment to the future

BioWare is a commitment to the future: with this range Huhtamaki offers the foodservice operators a natural way to invest in their environmental image and support the consumers to make a conscious choice.

The Mater-Bi cutleries have its origin in natural plant resources. Two vegetable extracts and one polymer have been added to the modified molecular structure obtaining a bio-plastic raw material that is extremely adaptable and versatile. Usage of compostable tableware will enable the food operators to combine the waste streams of food and packaging.
 
The interest for environmentally sound tableware is increasing: Huhtamaki is committed to develop the BioWare range further.
