Feature on Sustainable Business Magazine: EQUO Impresses Biodegradable and Compostable Products from Nature

In recent times, there has been a growing demand for sustainable products that are environmentally friendly and do not contribute to the plastic waste crisis. However, finding such products can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to single-use items like food containers or straws, which are often used once and then discarded. While reusable alternatives exist, they may require additional efforts, such as washing or carrying them around, which can be inconvenient or impractical for some individuals. Fortunately, there are brands that have stepped up to address this challenge by offering solutions that are both eco-friendly and user-friendly, while also being kind to the environment. One such brand is EQUO (pronounced Ee-Kwo), a sustainable brand founded by a Vietnamese-Canadian woman who is making a positive impact on the world.

EQUO offers 100% plastic-free, biodegradable, and compostable alternatives to everyday single-use plastic items. Their initial product line includes drinking straws made from natural materials like grass, rice, coconut, sugarcane, and coffee. These straws are eco-friendly, free from chemicals or plastics that could leach into beverages or harm health. Notably, they contain no bioplastics or PLA (recently banned in some regions), and are home compostable, capable of decomposing in backyard composts.

EQUO provides environmentally conscious solutions by offering a range of 100% plastic-free, biodegradable, and compostable products to replace single-use plastic items commonly used in daily life. Their inaugural line features drinking straws crafted from natural materials such as grass, rice, coconut, sugarcane, and coffee. These straws not only contribute to planetary well-being but also prioritize personal health and enjoyment, as they are devoid of any chemicals or plastics that could potentially leach into beverages and cause harm. A distinctive aspect of EQUO's straws and utensils is their absence of bioplastics or PLA, substances that have recently faced bans in various regions of Canada and Europe. Moreover, these products are designed for home composting, capable of decomposing seamlessly in backyard compost bins.

You can easily find EQUO products on Amazon and order them from anywhere in the world. Here are some of the products the brand offers:

• Straws made of grass, rice, coffee, sugarcane, and coconut
• Utensils made of sugarcane and coffee (forks, knives, and spoons)
• Dishware and food containers made of sugarcane
• Reusable Tote bags

By choosing EQUO products, you actively contribute to mitigating the global issue of plastic pollution, which adversely impacts millions of people and animals worldwide. Plastic waste poses a severe threat to the health and livelihoods of those reliant on marine resources or consuming seafood contaminated with toxic micro and nano plastics. Furthermore, plastic waste inflicts damage on ecosystems and exacerbates climate change. EQUO's products are meticulously designed to decompose naturally, leaving no harmful residues behind. Additionally, they are manufactured through ethical and sustainable practices that support local communities and farmers. Embracing sustainable products in our daily lives can significantly benefit both our generation and those to come.
