The
StalkMarket family of eco friendly tableware consists
of three distinct brands: StalkMarket, Jaya and Planet
Plus.
StalkMarket
is the company's flagship line of tableware and packaging
is made from sugarcane fiber-based
paperboard called bagasse. The material is made from
upcycled sugarcane waste recovered from sugar refineries. The crushed
stalks, which are normally disposed of by burning, are
taken to a processing plant where they are converted into
paperboard in much the same way as wood pulp is used for
cardboard. Since the raw materials used to produce StalkMarket's
tableware and packaging are the by-product of food-grade
sugar processing, the bagasse paperboard is clean and
free of any contaminants throughout the entire manufacturing
process. This makes it safe for food contact, pharmaceutical
packaging and personal care items. Stalk market produces
a wide array of plates, bowls, serving trays, to-go containers,
sandwich boxes and cups all made of this material. StalkMarket
products are microwave safe, can handle boiling liquid,
can be frozen and are oil-resistant.

Jaya
cutlery and clear cups are made out of biopolymers that
are similar to hydrocarbon-based thermoplastics with one
very important difference – they are made from plants
instead of oil. While they may look and feel a lot like
plastic they are really made completely of renewable materials
and, like all StalkMarket products, they break down in
a composter or landfill.

The Planet Plus line of paper cups and soup containers is designed for use with both
hot and cold liquids. Traditionally, disposable paper
cups are lined with a thin oil-based plastic coating that
prevents them from leaking. Unfortunately, this plastic
coating also prevents them from breaking down. Planet
Plus cups are coated with Ingeo™ biopolymers from
NatureWorks,
LLC, allowing them to quickly break down in composter
facilities.
