Question 8

How are your olive seed straws and cutlery made?

Accepted Answer

Our straws and cutlery are made from olive pit/seed harvested from pitting factories. Once these pits are crushed, we incorporate a natural and vegetable binder to obtain a French, eco-designed, economical and highly qualitative material. The straws are subsequently manufactured by extrusion and cutlery are manufactured by injection.

Question 9

How are your straws/cutlery better than paper/wood/cardboard ones?

Accepted Answer

Straws and cutlery made from olive pit/seed are preferable to cardboard straws and wooden cutlery for several reasons.

First of all, the olive pits used to make these products come from pitting factories. This means that they come from an existing production process and do not require new resources or new olive crops. By using olive pits waste, we therefore reduce the demand for additional raw materials and optimize the use of existing resources.

Additionally, straws and cutlery made from olive pits are recyclable and reusable. After use, they can be collected and re-transformed into new products, thus contributing to waste reduction and the circular economy. Comparatively, cardboard straws and wooden cutlery are generally thrown away after use, leading to significant waste generation and increased consumption of natural resources.

It should also be noted that the use of cardboard and wood for the manufacture of straws and cutlery contributes to deforestation. Cardboard production requires the felling of trees, while using wood to make cutlery also worsens the problem of deforestation. In comparison, by using olive pits which are waste from an existing process, we reduce our footprint on forests and preserve forest ecosystems.

It is also important to highlight the poor quality aspect of wood or cardboard, whether these materials are used for straws or cutlery. Most of the time, cardboard materials disintegrate very quickly, not allowing optimal consumption of a drink or a meal. At Noyatech, we have solved this problem with highly resistant utensils that do not alter the taste of the dish or drink consumed.

In short, straws and cutlery made from olive pit/seed are preferable to cardboard or wooden alternatives because they reduce the demand for new resources, are recyclable and reusable, contribute to the preservation of forests by avoiding deforestation while allowing comfort significant consumption.

Question 10

How are your straws/cutlery better than sugar cane ones?

Accepted Answer

Olive pit straws and cutlery are ecological and sustainable alternatives to sugar cane straws and cutlery, with an added benefit for local production in Europe.

Indeed, olive pits are a by-product of the olive oil industry which is abundant in several European countries. This means that using them to make straws and cutlery offers a local solution and reduces our dependence on materials from far away such as sugar cane which usually comes from Taiwan. Olive pit straws do not deform and remain perfectly functional even after prolonged use. Olive pit cutlery is therefore an environmentally friendly choice and in line with sustainability values in Europe.

In conclusion, olive pit straws and cutlery offer an ecological and local alternative to sugar cane straws and cutlery. Their production in Europe from olive pit helps reduce our ecological footprint, while offering sustainable, pleasant to the mouth, compostable and biodegradable products.

Opting for these alternatives represents a responsible choice in favor of preserving our environment and promoting a circular economy.
