They produce no waste from the raw materials. TerraMavi uses every part of the bamboo, coconut, and wheat plant for all of its products.
When it comes to coconut bowls, billions of shells go to landfills every year. By giving them a second chance, tons and tons of these won’t go to waste.
After use of these products, if desired, these can be composted, avoiding further waste.
Different raw materials such as bamboo and coconut do not contain any plastic, toxins or pesticides at any point of the production process. The final products are free of synthetic preservatives and colourants as well as fragrances.
