Description
The designed product is a disposable plate made from poplar wood that seeks to displace or directly compete with the disposable kitchenware that is on the market today, which is mainly made from plastic. Additionally, it seeks to be a substitute for other similar products manufactured with biodegradable products in their highest proportion, such as sugar cane fiber, palm leaf or bamboo.Other information

Novelty
Applicability of technology:
Yes
Companies and markets:
Catering. Hotel industry.
Advantages:
‒ The waste it generates is 100% biodegradable which facilitates its decomposition in the environment and also provides nutrients to the soil after its use. ‒ Within the timber industry, poplar wood is one of the most used products due to the easiness of its location and the treatment of poplar groves. It is also frequently used due to the potential wood growth of a poplar grove, since its logging is established around 15-20 years. ‒ The product can become economically competitive. It is obtained from renewable raw materials with short replenishment periods and it is easily biodegradable to reduce the environmental impact on ecosystems.
