Regeno aims to replace single-use petrochemical plastics with compostable, biodegradable, and water soluble alternatives. India produces an estimated 5.6 million tons of plastic waste each year. This waste clogs sewers and drainage systems, which increases flooding and the spread of mosquito borne diseases like dengue and malaria. Ingesting plastic waste kills thousands of cows in India each year and more than one million sea birds worldwide. As plastic breaks down, it can still have health effects. According to one study, more than 80 percent of tap water samples tested in India were contaminated with plastic particles with compounds that can be absorbed by the body and potentially alter hormones. Regeno bio bags are plastic free, made from tapioca starch and non-toxic colors, and can be dissolved in high temperature water. They can be recycled with paper or composted with no toxic residue and no harm to plants, animals, or human health. Regeno reinvests their proceeds to develop new plastic-free packaging alternatives.
