Thooshan shows the sustainable way of living

Thooshan is pioneering a sustainable future through our innovative approach to biodegradable tableware, aiming to revolutionize the way we consume and dispose of single-use items. Here’s an overview of our sustainable initiatives:

Mission and Vision

  • Cutlery Revolution: Thooshan was established with the goal of replacing disposable plastic utensils & compostable single use products with biodegradable alternatives. Our mission is to raise public awareness about the environmental impact of single-use plastics, which often end up in landfills after just one use
     
  • Biodegradable and Edible Products: We produce a range of tableware, including plates, bowls, and straws made from agricultural by-products like wheat bran, Rice Husk, wasted Rice Powder or rice bran. Our products are not only biodegradable but also partially edible, allowing for a zero-waste approach where discarded items can decompose into organic manure or be used as animal feed, fish feed or as poultry feed.

Sustainable Practices

  • Innovative Manufacturing: Thooshan operates a fully automated robotic plant in Coimabtore, Tamil Nadu, where we utilize a dry processing method that minimizes water usage. Our facility can produce large units per day, with plans to scale up production significantly
  • Environmental Impact: Our products decompose within 30 days, contributing to soil health rather than pollution. The initiative aims to significantly reduce reliance on single-use plastics & compostable products, aligning with global movements toward sustainability
  • Awards and Accolades: Thooshan has received multiple recognitions nationally and internationally for our innovative approach to sustainability, including recognition from the UNDP. The company has also been acknowledged by various governmental bodies for our contributions to eco-friendly practices
  • Community Engagement: By generating direct and indirect employment opportunities in local communities and collaborating with farmers for raw materials, Thooshan supports local economies while promoting sustainable practices
     

Future Aspirations

  • Expansion Plans: Thooshan is set to expand its product line to include forks, knives, Spoons and take away containers of various sizes made from bran. This diversification will further enhance our offerings in the biodegradable market. We are also on the lookout from other countries for a like minded cooperation, to establish factories locally
     
  • Research and Development: The company is committed to accelerating research on other biodegradable products to ensure a sustainable Earth for future generations. This focus on innovation will help us stay at the forefront of the eco-friendly tableware industry

Through its commitment to creating biodegradable and edible tableware, Thooshan is not just providing products but also fostering a culture of sustainability.
