On 17th August 2021, after a research and development of more than 3 years, we soft launched commercial production in a fully automated robotic plant at Angamaly, Kochi.
Our project is focused on creating fully biodegradable tableware, such as single-use plates, cups, take away boxes, cutleries and glasses. The products consists of agriculture by-product (wheat bran or rice bran) other natural ingredients coated with natural binders
THOOSHAN brand came into existence with a goal to provide a replacement for the current disposable plastic utensils on the market. Our mission is to start a cutlery revolution. Millions of single-use cutleries end up in landfills every year after being used once. Through our initiative, we hope to put an end to this behaviour and increase public awareness. THOOSHAN makes a range of plates, bowls made from natural wheat bran.
THOOSHAN’s dishware has a longer shelf life which is fungus and bacteria resistant. Dishware from THOOSHAN is completely biodegradable and partially edible. However, you don’t always have to eat the plate; if you throw it away, it decomposes into organic manure for the plants. After its use, these tableware’s can be used as cattle feed, fish feed, or poultry feed. The use of single-use plastic could be reduced to large extent by this novel concept.
