What is this innovation about?

CHUM Compostable Tableware offers an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic plates. Made from pressed bran, oats and quinoa, these plates are created using high temperature and pressure, without any chemicals. They are food-safe, robust, and can be composted or even consumed, providing an innovative solution to reduce plastic waste in the tourism industry.

What’s in it for a tourism SME?

Tourism SMEs can benefit from using CHUM Tableware by enhancing their sustainability credentials. Using compostable tableware for events and activities not only reduces plastic waste but also appeals to eco-conscious guests. This can differentiate the business in a competitive market and attract environmentally responsible travellers.

Consider that:

While CHUM Tableware may be more expensive than plastic alternatives, the investment contributes to a broader sustainability strategy. It can lead to indirect cost savings by reducing waste management expenses and attracting a niche market of eco-conscious customers. The positive environmental impact and improved business reputation are significant advantages.
