2050 Brand's Journey at Anuga Food Fair in Cologne, Germany

Cologne, Germany - From October 7th to 12th, the world witnessed one of the largest food fairs globally, the Anuga Food Fair. Among the myriad of exhibitors, the 2050 brand stood out with its unique proposition in the realm of sustainable dining.

2050, a pioneering brand in the field, offers 100% food-grade biodegradable materials, currently applied to disposable tableware. Serving as a complementary vendor at a food fair might seem unconventional, but it underscores the brand's commitment to holistic dining experiences. The primary clientele includes businesses like gelato and dessert parlors, airline catering, chain restaurants, especially those offering light meals like salads, and yogurt-based products.

The highlight of the event was the location itself - Europe, with countries like the Netherlands leading the global movement against plastic. Insights from potential clients revealed that several European nations have initiated comprehensive plastic bans. These bans prohibit the use of any polymers, irrespective of their origin, be it petroleum or biological, in certain disposable products.

This movement significantly benefits ventures like 2050. In a market spanning an estimated population of 100 million, after bamboo and paper-based materials, products from 2050 emerge as the third viable alternative. The team was particularly moved by the dedication of countries like the Netherlands in addressing the plastic menace.

The advent of products based on our platform technology offers nations that have already banned plastics more choices. It strikes a balance between commercial societal interests and environmental protection in people's daily lives. For countries contemplating a plastic ban or those undecided, the tangible products from 2050 demonstrate that it's feasible to replace certain categories of goods without compromising the convenience of the public.
