Kompoŝtebla Amelo

ECO Lamps from the Kompoŝtebla Amelo collection are made of a patented and certified, fully compostable material based on thermoplastic starch, the raw material of which is potatoes. Our ECO Lamp shades offer amazing shapes and colors that will illuminate the room with a beautiful, warm glow, and at the same time they are truly ecological – after a period of use, they can be thrown into home composters or buried in the soil, thanks to which they will completely decompose. THIS IS NOT PLA (based on sugar cane or corn starch), WHICH IS BIODEGRADABLE ONLY IN INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS!

The material from which the lamp shades for ECO Kompoŝtebla Amelo lamps are produced was developed by the largest chemical company in Poland – Grupa Azoty S.A. The company was founded in 1927 as one of the most modern factories in Europe at that time. Today, the Azoty Group is a major producer of fertilizers, plastics, chemicals, oxo alcohols and pigments. For several years, it has been developing its own line of 3D printer materials, which includes technical and high-performance filaments, as well as fully biodegradable and compostable ones based on the aforementioned thermoplastic starch. These materials dissolve in water or naturally compost in the soil, leaving no harmful substances.

Thermoplastic starch is produced from raw materials certified according to EN 13432 for industrial composting. The raw materials are certified by TÜV Austria for composting under certain conditions of storage, temperature and humidity. Composting organic waste prevents it from being landfilled or incinerated. Composting is a biological process in which organic waste is broken down by microorganisms into carbon dioxide, water and humus – soil nutrients.

Potato starch, from which ECO Lamp lampshades are made, has a phenomenal, pearly color by default, which, when illuminated, resembles milky glass. At the same time, ECO Lamp’s manufacturing technology makes it possible to create geometries impossible with glass molding, as well as with any other traditional manufacturing technique. At the same time, potato starch is perfect for dyeing, creating interesting lighting effects when the light is turned on. The dyes used in the material are intended for contact with food.

ECO Lamps – use only LED bulbs

We do not supply the lamp holder, bulbs or power cable – only the lamp shade for ECO Lamp. We recommend using E27 LED bulbs, 5-15W. It should also be remembered that the biomaterials used have lower temperature resistance than ordinary synthetic plastics based on fossil fuels. Temperatures of 80-100°C / 175-210°F cause the material to become plastic (don’t worry – it won’t melt, but it may deform). Follow our recommendations, use ecological LED light and take advantage of what bioplastics offer to the environment.

ECO Lamps can be ordered directly from COLORISED via Etsy – one of the largest trading platforms in the world. Thanks to this, you receive a full guarantee of transaction security, delivery reliability and a standardized complaint procedure.
