Everything EarthCleanse, in one place: our products in use, the films, the photography, the design work and the coverage.

Most of what is here is visual, and that is deliberate. In a category where every supplier says the same words, the useful thing is seeing the product hold a full meal, seeing the factory it came out of, and seeing the people who made it. Read the specification anywhere; watch it work here.

EarthCleanse is a manufacturer of compostable and recyclable foodservice products, founded by Srikanth Bolla. Born blind in rural Andhra Pradesh, he sued the state education board for the right to study science and won, became the first international visually impaired student at MIT Sloan, and returned to India in 2012 to build a factory around the people the labour market overlooks.

Twelve years on, the group runs its own plants across sixteen product lines and over six hundred products, employs a workforce that is over 70% women with a substantial proportion living with a disability, and ships from its own US warehouses in Hayward, California and Baltimore, Maryland. His life was made into the film
