Introducing BioWare
We understand that a growing number of consumers are environmentally aware and are looking for products that are better for the environment. As a result we have developed BioWare.
BioWare is a new range of renewable resource based packaging products made from a number of biodegradable renewable plant based materials.
Products include cold cups, plates, bowls, knives and forks as well as hot (eg coffee) cups as well as various forms of commercial packaging.
Because BioWare products are made from sustainable resources such as corn and paper, we are helping businesses and consumers do their bit for the planet. We are fully committed to developing products and processes that are kind to the environment. We are also keen to encourage industry partners to work together to improve the processes and resources for the composting of waste.

Helping the environment
Renewable resources are natural resources which are depleted more slowly than the rate at which they regenerate. In BioWare’s manufacturing processes the aim is to significantly minimise the depletion of natural resources by applying the best techniques and practices available.
