JuTian Cleantech is using sugarcane to combat the world’s plastic problem, and the company is expanding its other green products to include bowls, plates and cutlery, all made from biodegradable materials such as bamboo and coffee grounds.

These biodegradable straws made from plant fibers are the perfect alternative to plastic, and food chains and airlines have already placed orders.

JuTian Cleantech’s sugarcane straws are made from renewable materials and are 100% naturally compostable and biodegradable, ensuring 0 plastic pollution. These straws are made from sugarcane fibre and PLA and can withstand temperatures from minus-20°C to 50°C. The sugarcane straws are subjected to a rigorous selection process that covers four major aspects of “R&D”, “Design”, “Quality” and “Marketing”, and were awarded the Taiwan Excellence Award as outstanding products with “innovative value”.

As the policy of banning plastic straws was launched, as many as 1,060 organizations worldwide joined together to promote the Save Our Oceans campaign. The goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, eliminate the use of plastic products, promote the reuse of waste, and encourage consumers to use friendly products to care for the Earth.

JuTian has been developing plant-based raw materials, and are committed to turning agricultural waste into safe and eco-friendly tableware, hoping to improve environmental pollution and be friendly to nature. In addition to using bamboo to make tableware, the product concept of using plant fiber to replace plastic, using bagasse to make sugarcane fiber straws, the team has received many invitations from Chinese merchants to buy out the technology at a high price, but they have all been decisively rejected and insist on R&D in Taiwan.

Make good use of the agricultural waste produced worldwide, develop bio-plant materials, produce economically valuable plant fiber products, recycle them, recycle the waste without costing resources, and make all kinds of environmentally friendly products that can be naturally decomposed after use, replacing disposable plastic materials and completely realizing the biological cycle.

Innovative Taiwan, wonderful world, every life object is a wonderful dialogue with oneself and the world. In the post-epidemic era, people have a different experience of life. 100% ZHI (/Plant/) rethinks the life mode of products, replacing petrochemical plastics with agricultural waste, and designing products that can be naturally decomposed into the biological cycle. In July of this year, 100% ZHI (/Plant/) cooperated with supermarket chains to make eco-friendly cups made of bagasse, which can be reused and decomposed naturally after use. Consumer response is an important force for change, and responsible consumption can lead to responsible production, and it is estimated that 8.5 million disposable plastic cups and lids will be reduced this time.

Bagasse-made straws can fully replace plastic straws, the production cost is more expensive than plastic straws, but the plant fiber material is all-natural and can be decomposed in the soil, which is good for the earth.

Bottles made of sugarcane fiber do not create waste and can decompose naturally, and can hold drinks from 0 to 90 degrees Celsius and be reused. Promoting recycled agricultural waste products in conjunction with 7-Eleven, a chain of supermarkets. After use, consumers will be guided to take back the cups to make secondary products, creating a sustainable cycle of renewable resources.

Recently, the plastic restriction policy was announced, an industry to promote natural environmental straws, the use of bagasse and plant starch made of “sugarcane straws”, not only can be reused, decomposition of the environment is no burden.

These straws are made of plant fiber and will decompose in a few months in a landfill, they will not be harmful to the environment even if they flow into the ocean.

With the advancement of technology, agricultural waste can also be recycled and reused to create a circular economy. For example, bagasse, or coffee grounds, through professional technology, can be made into straws, tableware, to replace plastic materials. The most important thing is that these products can be decomposed naturally and will not cause a burden to the Earth.

For 30 years, the Ocean Conservancy has conducted an ocean cleanup campaign on the world’s beaches. They’ve collected 300 million pounds of garbage, a lot of it plastic. But slowly and surely some entrepreneurs are working to reduce the amount of plastic filling up oceans and landfills.

In early June 2018, the EPA signed a “Green Agreement” with a community coalition in hopes of creating greater output value; in addition to that, “source reduction” and “secondary plastics” are also important issues! A team of young people in Taiwan made bagasse into sugarcane straws, which became a miracle of circular economy in Taiwan!

In response to environmental protection, in line with the EPA’s new policy of plastic straws, so that the store selling pearl milk tea brainstorming, visited various beverage stores, found that there are eco-friendly materials of paper straws and sugarcane straws, after actual testing, sugarcane material is the most durable.

The main core of the products made from plant fibers extracted from agricultural waste is to raw materials plant fibers to solve the industrial damage brought by plastic, sugarcane sustainable bottles are heat resistant and reusable, and finally can be completely decomposed, there is no general plastic factory processing stench in the factory, instead, it is full of fruit flavor. Turning garbage into green gold, reusing agricultural waste, promoting circular economy, and successfully building a zero-waste recycling model.

As plastic straws will be banned due to the plastic restriction policy, many people are thinking about alternative beverage solutions. JuTian has developed a bagasse-based sugarcane fiber straw that is not only reusable but also eco-friendly after decomposition, and can also be sucked to “sweetness”.

Taiwan’s new innovation team has recycled various agricultural wastes, such as bagasse and bamboo, into eco-friendly tableware, and has now developed “coffee shoes”, which are not only waterproof but also lighter than ordinary shoes. At present, the monthly sales volume of environmental protection straws is 6 million pieces, 90% of which are sold overseas. The first to turn agricultural waste into a variety of products, with domestic and overseas popularity is the straw made of bagasse, not only waste reuse, but also with the circular economy, this idea is recognized by many countries.

Gong-Cha was awarded the first Buying Power Award, and the brand responded to the global environmental friendly action by using JuTian’s environmentally friendly sugarcane straws to purchase environmentally friendly products and promote this concept to the world.

The business opportunities for waste are endless. The coffee grounds and agricultural waste from coffee chains in Taiwan are recycled and made into fiber straws through sun-drying. PLA straws are made from plant starch fermented into lactic acid and then polymerized into PLA, the full name of which is polylactic acid, and protecting the environment is an important issue that all people need to face together.

In response to the plastic restriction policy, environmental straws made of various materials have been created accordingly, such as bagasse, coffee grounds, bamboo, grape grounds, tea residues and rice husk, making straws from agricultural waste that can be decomposed by more than 90% within six months after use, allowing plants to return to the soil and realizing a circular economy. In addition to the straws, we also make eco-friendly products such as cutlery, chairs, shoes, etc. From straws to lifestyle products, we have opened up green and gold business opportunities for both environmental protection and convenience.

A handful of companies are making eco-friendly products made out of natural sugarcane fiber. Taiwanese startup JuTian Cleantech started developing drinking straws made from sugarcane back in 2021, to help fight ocean pollution. Tens of millions of plastic straws are used every day in the US, handed out with virtually every iced coffee, smoothie and boba tea. The slivers of non-biodegradable plastic are clogging up oceans and landfills and contributing to the wourld’s plastic pollution problem. Biodegradable straws made from sugarcane, only take about half a year to decompose. As long as there’s enough moisture and oxygen in the air, and if these plant-based straws wind up in the ocean, the material simply begins to break down. JuTian uses bagasse, the residue of sugar-making and juice-making to make biodegradable and compostable straws. In 2018, the global paper and plastic straws market, was valued at almost 5 million, and JuTian sold more than 50 million straws last year and expects to sell more than 100 million by the end of this year.

The Ho Chi Minh City Marathon, powered by Taiwan Excellence, is expected to attract more international athletes to Ho Chi Minh City so that it can be proud to be an exciting destination in Vietnam and Asia.
