News - Polish Wheat Tableware Sold over a Million Yuan a Year After the Eu’s Ban on Plastic

The EU’s “strictest plastic ban” continues to take effect, and disposable plastic tableware has been completely withdrawn from the market. The wheat bran tableware created by the Polish brand Bioterm, with its dual advantages of “edible+fully biodegradable“, has become a new benchmark in the global environmental consumer market, with annual sales exceeding one million US dollars.

Bioterm, founded in 2012, uses wheat bran, a byproduct of crop processing such as wheat and rye, as its core raw material. One ton of pure wheat bran can produce 10000 tableware, fully utilizing the abundant wheat resources in Europe and America to reduce costs. The technology developed by it enables tableware to withstand the temperature changes of microwave ovens and ovens, hold hot and cold food without deformation, and achieve the environmental miracle of “disappearing after use” – either directly consumed or completely degraded into organic matter within 30 days in the natural environment, without any microplastic residue.

Policy dividends and innovative design drive rapid brand expansion. At present, Bioterm has launched 6 different specifications of plates, bowls, and knife and fork sets, with an annual output of over 15 million pieces, exported to more than 40 countries including Denmark, France, and the United Kingdom. On social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, the brand attracts a large number of young consumers by showcasing creative videos and environmental stories of “eating utensils”. The independent website has exceeded one million monthly visits, and the spontaneous recommendations of environmental KOLs have further helped it become an internet celebrity product.

This “turning waste into treasure” model is triggering a chain effect. According to EU data, wheat based tableware has accounted for 27% of the regional eco-friendly tableware market, and cities such as Paris in France have included it in the 2026 disposable plastic meal box replacement plan. Even traditional fast food Kebab packaging is starting to use this type of material. Compared to plastics that take hundreds of years to degrade, wheat tableware is a double winner for both the environment and business, “said Dawid Wr ó blewski, project manager at Bioterm

Industry analysts point out that with the intensification of global plastic ban policies, the market size of wheat tableware, which combines resource advantages and innovative experiences, is expected to double by 2031 compared to the current level. However, quality standards such as SGS plastic free certification are required to avoid low-quality products disrupting the market. This “wheat bran revolution” originating from Europe is providing a new paradigm for the global development of environmentally friendly tableware.
