Welcome to Reed Revolution!

01

Redefining Sustainability

Reed, often referred to as "Nordic Bamboo," is a remarkable resource that's revolutionizing the way we think about sustainable materials.

Growing abundantly in wetlands and bay areas worldwide, reed offers a unique combination of rapid growth, minimal resource requirements, and exceptional versatility.

At Sutu, we're dedicated to creating a sustainable future with the power of reed.

Reed isn't just another plant – it's a sustainability powerhouse.

Its rapid growth provides a renewable resource that can be harvested annually, thriving naturally without the need for additional land, water, or cultivation.

This natural growth cycle and minimal processing needs result in a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional materials.

Moreover, regular harvesting of reed helps maintain the health of bay areas and wetlands, promoting biodiversity in these crucial ecosystems.

Biodegradable and Compostable

Sutu reed biomaterial stands out for its remarkable properties. It boasts durability and strength but without the environmental downsides.

The versatility of reed allows it to be molded into various forms, making it suitable for a wide range of products.

Perhaps most importantly, reed biomaterial is biodegradable and compostable, naturally breaking down and leaving no harmful residues behind.

From cards to packaging, containers to cutlery, reed biomaterial is proving its worth across industries, offering a truly sustainable alternative to plastic. Its adaptability continues to amaze us, opening up new possibilities for eco-friendly product design and manufacturing.

From Reed Straws to Reed Revolution

Sutu’s story began with a simple idea: to create a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic straws in response to the EU's push to ban them. Our founder, Ailet, a nature lover and material scientist, saw an opportunity to make a difference.

What started as Sutu drinking straws quickly evolved as we realized reed's immense potential. Today, we're fully focused on redefining plastic and creating positive change in the world through our innovative Sutu reed material.

Our journey has been one of constant discovery and innovation, driven by our commitment to sustainability and our belief in the transformative power of reed.

05

Combating Climate Change

By choosing reed-based products, you're making a significant positive impact on our environment.

Reed products biodegrade naturally, leaving no microplastics behind, thus preventing plastic pollution.

The production of reed biomaterial requires significantly less energy than traditional plastics, saving fossil energy resources.

As reed grows, it absorbs CO2, and our low-carbon production process further contributes to combating climate change. We use agricultural residues in our production, avoiding competition with food production and preserving biodiversity.  Furthermore, our products and production processes are free from toxic additives and chemicals, ensuring a safer environment for all.

06

Renewable Energy Source

The environmental benefits of reed extend throughout its lifecycle.

It breaks down naturally in industrial facilities and home composts, returning valuable nutrients to the soil. Even in other waste streams, reed products won't contaminate recycling or cause harm. If incinerated, reed products serve as a source of renewable energy, further demonstrating their versatility and sustainability.

07

Our Commitment to Science-Based Impact

At Sutu, we believe in the power of science to drive sustainable innovation.

We continuously collaborate with scientists to improve our materials and processes, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with reed biomaterial.

Our commitment to transparent, regular, science-based impact assessments of our products and operations ensures that we're always moving in the right direction.

Our team is constantly exploring new applications and improvements for our reed biomaterial, driven by an innovative spirit and a deep commitment to sustainability.
