Universal Biopack is an innovative and eco-friendly solution offering plant-based, compostable food packaging. Its products are designed to offer a sustainable alternative to the plastic and styrofoam takeout containers that proliferate landfills.
Using the technology developed by Bangkok University, UBPack replaces plastic materials with compostable ones, such as bamboo and cassava scraps — a byproduct of chopstick production. Unlike plastic bags and styrofoam boxes, these natural materials enable the waste to organically decompose, thus benefiting the natural ecosystem by adding nutrients to the soil.
UBPack products have a beautiful earthy tone and a rigid foam-like structure thanks to its crop-based ingredients. They offer a wide range of products such as bowls, trays, cups, plates, meal boxes, and kitchen utensils in various sizes and designs.
