Lifecycle Assessment 101: What It Is, When To Use, And How To Choose | Bioleader® Insights

Our eco-friendly disposable bowls contain primarily 2 materials that are used to make the bowls that are kraft paper and white cardboard paper , lifecycle assessment. Both of the materials are durable and environmentally friendly. Kraft paper has a coarse natural appearance while white cardboard paper has a smooth, sleek surface. All of these materials are biodegradable which ensures compliance with the highest environmental requirements in product manufacture — lifecycle assessment.

Yes, our to go salad bowls are eco friendly because it is made of biodegradable materials such as kraft paper and white paper card board which is better than plastic.

As for the to go bowls, these are available in different capacities of 500ml,750ml,1000ml,1090ml,1200ml,1300ml, and 1500ml. This implies that it serves a range of meals, that is, when it is served in a small salad one portion comes with it, and when it is served in larger portions many servings are included.

Conventional cutlery made from polypropylene (PP) or polystyrene (PS) relies entirely on fossil fuel extraction. Producing one kilogram of PP or PS emits between 2–3 kg of CO₂e, mainly due to high-temperature polymerization and refining processes. End-of-life scenarios further increase emissions — most of these utensils are not recyclable because of food residue contamination and their lightweight nature, which makes sorting uneconomical — lifecycle assessment.

Cornstarch utensils are made from modified starch polymer blends, typically combining natural starch with biodegradable polyesters like PBS or PLA. They are renewable, non-toxic, and BPA-free, using plant-based feedstock such as corn or cassava. The production energy demand is about 40% lower than PP, and the lifecycle carbon footprint averages 1.4–1.6 kg CO₂e per kg, which translates to roughly 35% less than plastic. Cornstarch utensils break down in 90–180 days under industrial composting conditions, returning nutrients to the soil instead of fossil carbon to the air.
