Cost effective and earth friendly tableware and food packaging made from 100% renewable plant materials

Products

The StalkMarket family of products consists of three distinct lines:

The company's flagship line of tableware and packaging is made from a sugarcane fiber-based paperboard called bagasse. The material is made from sugarcane waste recovered from sugar refineries. The crushed stalks, which are normally disposed of by burning, are taken to a processing plant where they are converted into paperboard in much the same way as wood pulp is used for cardboard. Since the raw materials used to produce StalkMarket's tableware and packaging are the by-product of food-grade sugar processing, the bagasse paperboard is clean and free of any contaminants throughout the entire manufacturing process. This makes it safe for food contact, pharmaceutical packaging and personal care items. Stalk market produces a wide array of plates, bowls, serving trays, pizza containers, sandwich boxes and cups all made of this material. StalkMarket products are microwave safe, can handle boiling liquid, can be frozen and are oil-resistant.

Product sheets and specs

Jaya cutlery and clear cups are made out of biopolymers that are similar to hydrocarbon-based thermoplastics with one very important difference – they are made from plants instead of oil. While they may look and feel a lot like plastic they are really made completely of renewable materials and, like all StalkMarket products, they break down in a composter or landfill.

This line of paper cups is designed for use with both hot and cold liquids. Traditionally, disposable paper cups are lined with a thin oil-based plastic coating that prevents them from leaking. Unfortunately, this plastic coating also prevents them from breaking down. Planet Plus cups are coated with Ingeo™ biopolymers from NatureWorks, LLC, allowing them to quickly break down in composter facilities.
