Millions of tons of carbon emissions are emitted annually from the rice-fields around the world mainly due to the open-burning activities by the paddy farmers during the post-harvesting season.
Minimal Natural Fiber Products are made of discarded rice husk. It’s environmentally friendly due to lower carbon footprints and it’s also compostable naturally, making it from the earth and ultimately giving back to the earth. It separates us from those non-renewable resources. It’s chip and crack resistant, and it’s designed to last for years in both cafe and home environments. By using much less amount of plastic material, it makes them most sustainable food containers.
Features
Made of discarded rice husks, food grade silicone seal / component, BPA-free, phthalate-free Includes two large containers, a sauce container, a cutlery set and built-in pressure relief valve Microwave safe and top shelf dishwasher safe
*Made in China

Welcome to Shades of Green, I’m so glad you’re here!
When I opened the store in 2009 there wasn’t many options for sustainable, earth friendly products in our community. It was a bit hard at first to source these kinds of products but now with so many people getting on board with the Zero waste movement there’s so much more available. We love to support Local and Canadian Made products as much as possible but when we do source products made outside of North America we make sure they are Made responsibly in Fair Trade practices.
Thank you for visiting the shop and wherever you are on your earth loving journey we are here to help. Small changes everyday can make a big impact.
