About the project

"The harm caused by disposable plastics has reached an indispensable point. The harm it causes on earth especially the water ecosystem is affecting every kind of creature and every part of living environments. Unfortunately, people have developed a need for single-use plastic over time and it became an undeniable habit to consume disposable plastic. Creating non-destructive single-use plastics without having to change the habit of using disposable plastic. And doing this for the takeaway food and beverage places, which are the most common areas of disposable plastic consumption, by using their own product residues for creating bioplastic packaging. Bio’c is a brand where new recipes and methods are designed specially to the specific takeaway food and beverage places according to their menu. Using the advantages of the biomaterial creating new ways of using and integrating the auxiliary ingredients like sauces and spices to the packagings."  Zümra Çetinler
