At agood company, we're not just painting pretty pictures, we're painting a greener future. We know that plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions are serious issues, and we don't want to be a part of the problem. That's why we've gone bananas (or should we say sugarcane?) for sugarcane-based packaging for our products, including our agood water-based edible paints. So put on your thinking caps and grab a snack, because we're about to take a deep dive into why sugarcane-based packaging is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Let's get started, shall we?

What is it?

Why we like It

A company which beleives in the vision ''From mindless consumption to conscious consumerism'', we are always looking for materials that align with our values. We have found that sugarcane-based packaging ticks all the boxes and we are proud to use it for our products. Here are some of the reasons why we like it:

  • Biodegradable: Unlike traditional plastic packaging that can take hundreds of years to decompose, sugarcane-based packaging is biodegradable and can decompose within a matter of months, leaving no harmful residue behind.

  • 100% recyclable: Sugarcane-based packaging is 100% recyclable, which means it can be repurposed and reused, preventing it from ending up in landfills or polluting our oceans.

  • Soft touch: Sugarcane-based packaging has a soft and smooth texture that provides a pleasant tactile experience and is perfect for packaging our high-quality edible paints.

  • Organic material: Sugarcane is a natural, organic material that is free from harmful chemicals, making it a safer and healthier option for both the environment and our customers.

Applications

Sugarcane is a versatile material that has a wide range of applications. At agood company, we use sugarcane-based packaging for our products, but that's not the only use for this sustainable material. Here are some other applications of sugarcane:

  • Packaging for food: Sugarcane-based packaging is an excellent alternative to traditional plastic packaging for food products. It's sturdy, lightweight, and can be used for a variety of food items.

  • Grocery bags: Many grocery stores are now offering biodegradable and compostable bags made from sugarcane. These bags are strong and durable, making them an ideal choice for carrying groceries.

  • Biofuel: Sugarcane can be used to produce biofuels, which are a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Biofuels made from sugarcane are renewable, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to energy security.

  • Paper products: Sugarcane can also be used to produce paper products such as notebooks, printing paper, and tissue paper. These products are biodegradable and made from a renewable resource.

Benefits of using sugarcane based packaging

As a company that values sustainability, agood company recognizes the importance of using eco-conscious packaging materials. That's why we choose to use sugarcane-based packaging for our products. Here are some of the benefits of using this material:

  • NO plastic: Sugarcane-based packaging is an excellent alternative to traditional plastic packaging as it does not use any plastic, helping to reduce plastic pollution and its harmful effects on the environment.

  • YES organic material: Sugarcane is a natural and organic material that is grown without the use of harmful chemicals, making it a healthier and safer option for both the environment and our customers.

  • YES biodegradable: Sugarcane-based packaging is biodegradable, which means it can decompose naturally without causing any harm to the environment, unlike traditional plastic packaging that takes hundreds of years to decompose.

  • YES recyclable: Sugarcane-based packaging is 100% recyclable, which means it can be repurposed and reused, helping to reduce waste and preserve our natural resources.

  • YES soft touch: Sugarcane-based packaging has a soft and smooth texture, making it a great option for packaging delicate products, while also providing a pleasant tactile experience for our customers.

With its biodegradability, recyclability, soft touch, and organic feel, sugarcane-based packaging is an excellent choice for our environmentally conscious customers.
