FAQ

Do you customise products?

Yes, for many of our pieces we absolutely can aim to adjust colours or sizes. This isn't available for everything but much of what we offer we can alter to your taste. If you're unsure, Its definitely worth reaching out and asking because we would love to help. 

What materials are your products created with?

Polylactic Acid (PLA), a plastic alternative that has been heralded as a better alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. 

What is PLA?

Polylactic Acid or PLA is a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic derived from renewable resources like corn starch, cassava roots, chips, or sugarcane. This makes it stand out from traditional plastics which are made from non-renewable petroleum. 

Can we have some specifics?

To appreciate the significance of PLA, we need to delve into the science that makes it so special. The process begins with the fermentation of plant-based materials to produce lactic acid. This lactic acid is then converted into lactide, which is further polymerized to create polylactic acid. The result is a plastic-like material that can be molded into a variety of shapes and used in countless applications.

Why we choose PLA over traditional plastics?

One of the key advantages of PLA is its biodegradability. When disposed of properly, PLA products can break down into natural elements within a few months to a few years—a stark contrast to conventional plastics that linger for centuries. The most laudable advantage of PLA is its smaller carbon footprint. The production of PLA uses 68% fewer fossil fuel resources compared to traditional plastic production.
