[ls_accordion][ls_accordion_section title=”¿Cómo se fabrican sus productos de fibra?“]We create a chemical-free pulp from naturally occurring fibrous materials such as cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. Then we shape the pulp into specific products using a process that includes forming and molding under intense pressure and high temperatures in accordance with U.S. Food & Drug Administration guidelines.[/ls_accordion_section][ls_accordion_section title=”Is there a difference in quality from traditional products?“]No. Our durable products withstand heat and hot liquids, are oil resistant, and are safe for microwaves, freezers and oven temperatures up to 450° F.[/ls_accordion_section][ls_accordion_section title=”¿Qué significa biodegradable? “]Biodegradable is the process by which organic substances are broken down by other living organisms. All Ultra Green fiber and bio-plastic products are 100% biodegradable and will break down in a composter. For fastest breakdown, products should be taken to a commercial compost facility.[/ls_accordion_section][ls_accordion_section title=”¿Cuánto tardan en descomponerse los productos Ultra Green?“]On average, our fiber products break down in 60-90 days in a commercial composter. Our products are ASTM certified compostable.[/ls_accordion_section][ls_accordion_section title=”¿Puedo poner productos Ultra Green en el compost de mi casa?“]Yes. The majority of our products (i.e. bowls, napkins, plates, pizza pans) are well suited for the home-composting environment. Under proper management, they should degrade; however, we recommend bringing used products to a local composting facility for faster breakdown. While all our products are compostable, it is recommended to dispose of all utensil products at an industrial compost facility as the material requires temperature and moisture regulation to breakdown efficiently.[/ls_accordion_section][ls_accordion_section title=”¿Y si soy intolerante al gluten?“]Our products are certified gluten-free by Bia Diagonistics.[/ls_accordion_section][ls_accordion_section title=”¿Cómo ayudo al medio ambiente utilizando productos ecológicos?“]
- You’re helping save trees. Every year more than 900 million trees are cut down to supply American paper mills. Absolutely no forests are destroyed to make our products.
- By purchasing a renewable and sustainable product, you’re helping to reduce greenhouse gases.
- Evitará que los contaminantes lleguen a la atmósfera: Ultra Green reutiliza recursos como el subproducto paja de trigo. En algunos casos, los campos de trigo se incendian para preparar la próxima cosecha. Utilizar el subproducto del trigo en lugar de quemarlo evita que las toxinas y los contaminantes contaminen la atmósfera.
- Reduzca los residuos destinados a los vertederos utilizando nuestros productos biodegradables y compostables.
- Evitas que el poliestireno y los plásticos derivados del petróleo contaminen el medio ambiente y los vertederos: estos materiales artificiales pueden tardar cientos de años en descomponerse.
- Reducirás tu huella de carbono.
[/ls_accordion_section][ls_accordion_section title=”¿Qué tienen de malo los productos de plástico y espuma de poliestireno?“]Traditional plastic and Styrofoam are non-biodegradable petroleum-based products. They will never deteriorate into natural material and will remain in the environment for hundreds of years. In addition, many cities are placing bans on the use of polystyrene foam food containers.[/ls_accordion_section][ls_accordion_section title=”What’s wrong with products made out of recycled paper?“]Tracing the origin of recycled paper is nearly impossible, making it difficult to know if bacteria, heavy oils, chemicals, viruses or other contaminants have come in contact with the paper.[/ls_accordion_section][/ls_accordion]
