WHO WE ARE

Olive Green is a Singapore company that designs, manufactures and distributes cornstarch-based bioplastics, Origo, in the form of disposable tableware (CornWare),carrier bags (CornBags) and other customised packaging (CornPacks).

Olive Green is determined to resolve the challenges brought forth by global warming

to create a truly sustainable future through the consistent development and utilizationof revolutionary biological plastics. We are committed to providing the most affordableproducts while not compromising on our quality.

While we work towards making our products easily accessible so that eco-friendly habits can become part of our daily lives, wehope that everyone, as citizens of Earth, will strive to live in harmony with the environment in a sustainable manner.

HOW WE DO IT

Origo products are made primarily from corn and yam. A small amount of polypropylene is added toimprove the functionality. With the correct conditions (temperature, humidity and the presence ofmicrobes), our products will biodegrade after 90 days. They are also up to 68% carbon-neutral

when incinerated, signicantly reducing the amount of greenhouse gases released.

Origoproducts are toxic free and do not leach harmful substances into the foodeven at high temperatures. Thus, it does not have the health hazards associatedwith the usage of plastic and styrofoam tableware.

Together, we can play a part in making the carbon-neutral world a reality.

ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH BENEFITS

The key to the environmental sustainability of Olive GreensOrigo products is in their life cycles. Unlike synthetic plastics,CornWare and CornBag are classied as starch-based bio-plastics. Such plastics are up to 68% carbon neutral and canfully biodegrade into humus, a natural fertiliser.

Another commonly used material is oxo-biodegradable plasticsthat contain chemical additives to accelerate the degradationprocess. However, as 100% pure plastics, their degradationprocess still leaves behind a toxic and pollutive plastic dust.

Origo-made products are also approved by the US FDA asbeing non-toxic. Studies have shown that toxic chemicals likeBisphenol A and styrene from styrofoam can migrate into food.CornWare, on the other hand, does not have this problem.
