About the product

A medicine cup that disappears, without a trace

The Plastilose medicine cup is made from bacterial cellulose, a pure biopolymer cultivated by micro-organisms from by-products of the Dutch sugar industry. The result: a cup that feels like plastic, but fully decomposes within 3 months in nature.

Unlike paper alternatives, our cup contains no plastic coating and no PFAS. The material is tested according to ISO 10993 and holds GRAS status with the FDA. Learn more about our approach in healthcare.

"Making the medication round sustainable without adding to the workload of care staff, that is what it is all about."

Together with healthcare institutions across the Netherlands, we are building a product that fits seamlessly into existing workflows. Meet our team or get in touch directly.
