Sustainability
Cornstarch is a good sustainable material because it is derived from corn, a renewable resource that can be grown abundantly and quickly.
As a biodegradable and compostable material, cornstarch breaks down naturally without leaving harmful residues, reducing environmental pollution. It is often used as a base for eco-friendly products such as bioplastics, packaging, and disposable tableware, providing a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
Additionally, its production typically has a smaller carbon footprint than traditional plastics, as it utilizes agricultural byproducts and requires less energy in processing. By replacing non-renewable materials with cornstarch-based alternatives, industries can significantly reduce waste and promote a circular economy.

About Me Mother Earth
As a husband and wife team rooted in Las Vegas, Alberto from Rio, Brazil, and I, Amanda from Washington state, began our eco-conscious company with a single product—the collapsible straw kit.
Our aim was to make sustainable living convenient for fellow travelers, starting with the reduction of single-use plastics. From craft fairs to expanding our product line, all our offerings, including reusable cutlery, prioritize natural materials and endless reusability without complicating busy lifestyles.
Advocating for a cleaner planet, our vegan and cruelty-free products, along with donations to ocean conservation, reflect our commitment to fostering positive environmental change.
