Agro
At Agro we generate biomaterials from organic waste as an alternative to synthetic materials.
How does it work?
We are an organic brand outside the conventions, with the aim of instilling values of ecological sensitivity and a sense of social responsibility in everything we do.
To do this, we create products from organic waste that express these values, in addition to involving the consumer so that they are also part of the change.
We believe that Agro products should not only be a functional and aesthetic product, but also a means to communicate and convey an environmental message.
Why is it needed?
Every day approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution find their way into our oceans. 12 million tonnes of plastic are poured into the ocean every year. Scientists have recently discovered microplastics embedded deep in the Arctic ice. Plastics consistently make up 80% of all marine debris studied.
How does it improve life?
A bioplastic is a type of plastic derived from organic raw materials, in our case from organic waste, more specifically from the remains of fruits and vegetables.
Apart from the materials used that characterize our product, the production process is as respectful as possible with the environment, minimizing natural resources and emissions; without compromising future generations. Allows you to create materials from organic waste. Innovation is a constant pillar that allows us to evolve and find new material solutions. We want to be part of our customers' daily lives, which is why all our products are designed with care so that functionality and aesthetics are adapted to the moment and to the consumer.
