RIGHT CHOICE OF RAW MATERIALS
is THE BASIS OF 1EA SUSTAINABILITY

1EArth (1EA) packaging is made of high-quality natural raw materials that are biodegradable and compostable: starch, maize, cellulose and other eco materials. After being used and disposed, these products break down into natural elements within 90-180 days, maintaining the natural balance without creating waste. Some parts of packaging can also be sent for processing.

WHY DO WE CHOOSE PAPER?

Choice of paper as a basic material for 1Earth (1EA) is based on research data, strict priorities in the areas of usability, consumer accessibility, technological efficiency and environmental safety of our production.

Biopolymers

Packaging based on starches of polylactic acid of natural grain. Formally, biopolymer packagings can decompose to carbon dioxide and water, methane and inorganic compounds within three to four years. However, it often needs high temperatures to decompose in order for this time period to be significantly reduced. The problem of biopolymers use has also been raised by a number of studies published in 2020 that have shown cytotoxicity of some biopolymers. Although there are safe biopolymers, the differences in the composition of biopolymers presented on the market prevent us from considering all biopolymers harmless and environmentally safe. Therefore, in-depth analysis and serious research are always necessary.

PLA

Bioplastics, product of bacteria, monomer. PLA is derived from corn, sugar cane or sugar beets. Since the production of the material requires the use of food resources, it may harm food security. A certain temperature and oxygen are required for its decomposition.

Traditional plastic with biodegradable additives

It's fossil plastic with biodestructive additives that destroy the material with a help of oxygen. Manganese, nickel, iron, and cobalt may be added. In large volumes, they can significantly affect the natural composition of soil and groundwater. In addition, when a large amount of plastic is buried, a lack of oxygen will not allow the plastic to decompose completely - it will disintegrate into microplastics.

Paper and cardboard

Paper and cardboard are made of plant fibers.

1Earth (1EA) packaging is produced primarily from cardboard and paper, and it is environmentally friendly.

Paper and paperboard packaging has little impact on greenhouse gas production and maintains a balance of mineral production and consumption.

Paper products easily degrade, are often suitable for recycling, and possess high energy potential.

Environmental impact assessments conducted in accordance with international standards identified several advantages of paper products:

- Ease of transportation reduces harmful emissions

- Compactness of packaging makes it possible to carry more products at a time

- Paper manufacturing uses significantly less natural resources than others materials
