Biodegradable boxes |10 July 2015

During the National Show held at Grand Anse Praslin last month to coincide with our National Day celebrated for the first time on June 29 together with our Independence Day, many companies and organisations displayed their products and services.

Many people visited the exposition including the President James Michel, who described the exhibits on offer as a progress in time as the majority of exhibitors were showcasing the progress they have made from past to present; from the old to the new with the introduction of new technologies and new ways of doing things.

Sustainability for Seychelles, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) responsible for the preservation of the environment, was also there educating the public on environmentally-friendly products and services. One of them was the biodegradable take-away boxes they were introducing to those concerned on a trial basis.

“We have 10,000 boxes to test,” said Michelle Martin of that NGO when explaining to the viewers the raison d’être behind such boxes.
