Plastic Makes Sense

STENco introduces an eco-friendly packaging solution with better oxygen barrier properties than most plastics and a low production cost, targeting the waste crisis of billions of disposable coffee pods, straws, and cups. Utilising solid polymer science and natural materials, their system is both cost-effective and home compostable, ensuring long-term product protection.

Drawing on nature's protective elements like proteins and polysaccharides, STENco's material mimics the resilience of biological membranes, offering environmentally safe packaging that degrades fully under appropriate conditions. This innovative approach promises a sustainable alternative to conventional packaging, reducing environmental impact significantly.
