Teysha\u00a0Technologies\u00a0has announced a packaging deal with an ethical skincare manufacturer that signals the start of an exciting new partnership.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company, who has pioneered a naturally derived\u00a0\u201csecond generation bioplastic\u201d, has signed up to work with\u00a0the Kind Planet Company\u00a0in a move that supports the global empowerment of women and minorities in marginalised African communities and its desire to purge the oceans of plastic waste.<\/p>\n

Teysha, currently in negotiations with several large multinationals about the implementation\u00a0of its unique patented solution across a range of applications, has partnered with the Kind Planet Company in the UK to produce natural waste-derived biodegradable lids for its exclusive product line.<\/p>\n

Using patented technology, the lids\u00a0are designed\u00a0to completely breakdown after use without leaving behind any pollutants or micro materials.<\/p>\n

The Kind Planet Company produces a range of 100 per cent organic skincare products. The fruits used in their products are exclusively picked,\u00a0processed\u00a0and packaged by women in Ghana, West Africa.<\/p>\n

The company teaches them the skills so they can ensure their farms are profitable businesses that provides a regular income to help their families.<\/p>\n

Teysha\u00a0will begin to develop a prototype for a range of biodegradable lids for the Kind Planet Company\u2019s exclusive skincare ranges, with product testing\u00a0commencing\u00a0shortly and plans to move to full scale production in the new year.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeysha\u00a0is on a mission to change the global packaging market and reduce the truly shocking eight million plastic items that find their way into our seas and waterways every single day,\u201d explains Matthew Stone, Managing Director of\u00a0Teysha\u00a0Technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully, due to recent worldwide reporting and increased consumer awareness of the issue, people are making decisions about the brands and products they buy based more on ethical and sustainability credentials.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeysha\u00a0is going all the way to the original source of raw materials to ensure the empowerment of women andcommunities in less economically developed regions. We take responsibility not just for the sustainable materials we use in our ground-breaking packaging technology, but additionally for the products within.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have strong female representation throughout\u00a0Teysha\u00a0from Professor Karen Wooley our CTO and the technology\u2019s principle inventor through to our Director of\u00a0Research and Development, Dr Ashlee Jahnke. Kind Planet Company\u2019s values, therefore, really resonated with our own.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
