Mater-Bi® vs Plastic - the facts

Sustainable! Compostable! Plastic-free! 🌿 these terms are used so easily today but what do they actually mean? 

At Organic Mondays, we're committed to sustainability and strive to be transparent and authentic. A commitment that extends beyond our period product ingredients and includes the packaging.

Our period products are wrapped in either Paper or Mater-Bi® ...  to 'ALWAYS' 😉 be plastic-free! (yes the pun is intended)

Mater-Bi®, is a bio-polymer made from renewable plant-based materials 🌽 this means corn-starch, cellulose and vegetable oils. 

"MATER-BI’s biodegradability and compostability properties and its high content of renewable raw materials allow optimal organic waste management, reduce the environmental impact and contribute to the development of virtuous systems, with significant advantages throughout the entire production-consumption-disposal cycle."

How is Mater-Bi® different to Plastic? In summary:

-> It's Biodegradable  ♻️ 
-> It’s Compostable 🌱 
-> AND it’s Fossil-fuel free 💚

These 3 simple points between a plastic (ie fossil-fuel based) and Mater-Bi® packaging that makes ALL the difference.

Our Mater-Bi® is manufactured in Italy and certified biodegradable and compostable according to the European standard UNI EN 13432.
