Cocoboheme Biodegradable Bibs and Chalkboard Stickers.
I'm thrilled to introduce the French design company Cocoboheme and their sustainable, biodegradable, and virtually carbon-neutral bibs and chalkboard stickers.
Made with a bioplymer derived from potato starch, both the bibs and the stickers reduce the need for petroleum-based plastic and are fully compostable according to European Norm EN 13432. All the products are re-usable (bibs are waterproof) and will last approximately two years. Once you're done with them, you can either compost them and return nutrients to the soil, or put them in the trash knowing that in about 6 months, 90% of the material will have biodegraded (as opposed to many decades for most plastic bibs and vinyl stickers). Of course, the inks and glue are also eco-friendly.
Today, the terms biodegradation, biodegradable materials, compostability etc. are very common, but frequently misused. Consequently, this is a source of misunderstanding. The European Standard EN13432 "Requirements for packaging recoverable through composting and biodegradation" resolves this problem by defining the characteristics that a material must have, in order to be defined as "compostable". This norm is a reference point for material manufacturers, public authorities, composters and consumers.
They're all made in France, designed by Cocoboheme and available exclusively in North America through Zoë b Organic.
