Circular by Nature

From Nature to Packaging: the Sustainable Revolution

"Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed."

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier

Made from cellulose, the Botanica Net was developed as an alternative to traditional single-use plastic packaging. It is a Compostable Packaging solution that reduces the environmental impact of waste while maintaining the same packaging format.

Natural and renewable raw material

Natural cellulose fibres obtained from European beech wood sourced from responsibly managed forests in Central Europe are used to produce the nets.

Unlike synthetic materials of fossil origin, cellulose fibres are part of a circular model that replicates the natural processes of the biosphere. The cycle originates from photosynthesis, which allows trees to grow in sustainably managed forests. Pulp is obtained from the wood and transformed into cellulose fibre for use in the textile industry as yarn.

At the end of its useful life, the material does not become permanent waste, but degrades naturally, returning to the earth and helping to generate new life.

Compostability, natural circularity

The finished product is 100% compostable, certified by TUV Austria – OK Compost Home/Industrial (Code S2432).
It integrates naturally into decomposition processes, returning to the biological cycle without leaving any microplastics or chemical residues.
It can be composted at home or industrially, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill or incineration.

Environmentally friendly production process

Cellulose fibres are processed using methods designed to reduce environmental impact, including lower water and energy consumption during processing, significant reduction in chemicals and waste, and integration of color directly into the fibre through “dope-dyed” technology, eliminating high-impact dyeing processes. This advanced technology not only improves production sustainability, but also guarantees materials that are suitable for food contact, safe and free from harmful residues.

Better water use throughout the entire production chain
Use of renewable bioenergy derived from raw materials
Recovery of thermal energy from wood processing waste
Recovery of chemicals used in fibre production
