Every year, an estimated of 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide, and Avani’s cassava-based eco bags are the perfect replacement to mitigate this horrible worldwide epidemic.

I feel such a relief to hear about a real solution towards the plastic waste problem, leaving behind pollution, cancer, and death of many species, especially ones inhabiting water.. I want more people to hear about this and participate in this creation! This is a good time to do good things for the community! There is so much plastic waste in this world I can't comprehend!

"I was with a friend sitting outside a bar and we were seeing hundreds of motorcyclists wearing vinyl ponchos," he recalls. "It clicked that these disgusting, toxic ponchos would be used a few times and then discarded, but they would not decompose.">

The biology graduate resolved to create a better plastic, that would leave no trace.

I wanted to show this bioplastic would be so harmless to sea animals that a human could drink it," he says. "I wasn't nervous because it passed an oral toxicity test.">

WHAT IT'S MADE OF?

Avani’s bags are made from cassava root starch and other natural resins, using no petroleum products. They biodegrade fully within 3 to 6 months, depending on soil conditions, converting naturally into carbon dioxide and biomass, with no toxic residue.
THEYŖE PRODUCTS ARE FOOD SAFE AND HARMLESS TO ANIMAL CONSUMPTION
