Thooshan

On 17th August 2021, after a research and development of more than 3 years, we soft launched commercial production in a fully automated robotic plant at Angamaly, Kochi. This project is focused on creating fully biodegradable tableware, such as single-use plates, cups, take away boxes, cutleries and glasses. The products consists of agriculture by-product (wheat bran or rice bran) other natural ingredients coated with natural binders THOOSHAN brand came into existence with a goal to provide a replacement for the current disposable plastic utensils on the market. Our mission is to start a cutlery revolution. Millions of single-use cutleries end up in landfills every year after being used once. Through our initiative, we hope to put an end to this behaviour and increase public awareness. THOOSHAN makes a range of plates, bowls made from natural wheat bran. Our Technology Partner is NIIST-COUNCIL OF SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH (CSIR), GOVT OF INDIA, Trivandrum, Kerala. We are incubated at IIT-Kanpur, Kerala Agricultural University and Indigram Lab Foundation, New Delhi We have won many accolades on the way, which includes the prestigious United Nations, UNDP “ Green Innovation Fund” award instituted by Kerala Start-up Mission and Haritha Kerala Mission, 2021, National winner from Kerala for RAFFTAR ABI for innovation in Agricultural products, Govt of India, 2021 as well as idea and start-up grant instituted by Kerala Start Up mission. As single use plastic ban is gaining momentum and as our country’s economy is developing to new heights, there is tremendous scope for the product which is sustainable and eco-friendly. There is huge scope for exports earning foreign exchange to the country. The product has all the capability to take over from plastic as it is affordable, edible, microwave friendly and biodegradable. Our endeavor is to accelerate research on other biodegradable products to ensure a sustainable earth, for future generations.
