EBP™ Cutlery Set – A Revolutionary Fusion of Sustainability, Accessibility, and Design Excellence
Pioneering Material Innovation
Crafted by EBP Biotech Company Limited (EBP Biotech), which is a park company in Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP), the EBP™ Cutlery Set redefines sustainable dining through advanced upcycled biomaterials. By transforming food waste rich in Calcium Carbonate — including bone and oyster shell — into high-performance Calcium Carbonate-based utensils, we’ve created a 100% biodegradable (ISO 14855-1:2012) material that naturally decomposes in 180 days, offering a tangible solution to plastic pollution. Rigorously tested and certified for food safety (US FDA 21 CFR 175.300) and biobased content (USDA Certified), this breakthrough material sets a new standard for eco-conscious functionality.
Inclusive Design for Universal Access
Beyond sustainability, the EBP™ Cutlery Set champions social equity through thoughtful design, including "Effortless One-Handed Use" feature: A no-buckle case ensures smooth operation for individuals with limited dexterity, including seniors and people with disabilities; "Tactile Embossing": Each utensil features intuitive tactile markers, enabling visually impaired users to easily identify orientation—promoting dignity and independence in dining.
Performance Without Compromise
Reusable & Durable: Engineered for daily use, outperforming fragile wooden or paper alternatives while remaining fully washable.
Zero Microplastics: A safer, cleaner alternative to traditional plastics, safeguarding both human health and marine ecosystems.
Complete Dining Solution: Includes a knife, fork, spoon, and chopsticks—versatile for home, travel, and hospitality use.
Circular Economy Impact
By converting food waste into functional, high-value products, EBP Biotech actively reduces landfill dependency and carbon-heavy waste processing, closing the loop in the circular economy.
Summary
The EBP™ Cutlery Set transcends conventional cutlery—it’s a harmonious blend of cutting-edge science, empathetic design, and environmental stewardship. A testament to how innovation can drive both sustainability and social progress, it represents a bold step toward a waste-free, inclusive future.
