Make the switch and lower your carbon footprint.

Why Choose Kanbol Corn Containers?

  • Unlike trees which take at least 10 years, our corn stalks are annually renewable. But we did not stop there. Our corn pulp is produced with a ground-breaking technology that has a significantly lower carbon footprint than traditional pulp. And our products are all PFAS-free.

  • We are directly harvesting corn stover with Midwest growers. Unlike some plant-based sources, we use excess material already on the farms. It is not purpose grown for fiber and does not compete with food production. Our stalks would be wasted if we did not use them.

  • Our products are made with fibrous corn stalks that are strong and durable. We preserve those inherent characteristics through our proprietary process.

Molded Fiber Bowls

Introducing our Molded Fiber Bowls, a new standard in sustainable packaging. Crafted using our patented FlowForm™ technology, these bowls are made from 100% corn stover—leaves, stalks, and shucks left over after the corn harvest. Unlike traditional plastic or Styrofoam containers, our Molded Fiber Bowls are fully compostable and PFAS-free, offering a guilt-free, eco-friendly packaging solution.

The FlowForm Difference

Changing the Game in Sustainable Packaging

FlowForm™ is our patent-pending pulping process that revolutionizes the way corn stover is transformed into sustainable packaging.

Unlike traditional methods that adapt wood pulping techniques, FlowForm™ is designed specifically for corn stover.

Think of it as an industrial kitchen where we 'cook' the corn stover to perfection, creating a pulp that is both strong and eco-friendly.

Why FlowForm™ Stands Out

  • Our technology is calibrated for corn stover and ensures that the natural fibers are optimized.

    This results in a precise, minimized conversion from stalk to product.

  • FlowForm™ is more akin to cooking than chemical processing, reducing the need for harsh chemicals and lowering the environmental impact. A

  • By focusing on corn stover, an abundant agricultural byproduct, FlowForm™ contributes to a circular economy, turning waste into valuable products.

Sustainability: A Core Value at Kanbol

Making a Difference, One Bowl at a Time

Traditional packaging materials like plastic and Styrofoam contribute to pollution, deforestation, and climate change. The need for a sustainable alternative has never been greater.

Our patent-pending FlowForm™ technology allows us to create molded fiber bowls from 100% U.S.-grown corn stover. This not only utilizes an abundant agricultural byproduct but also contributes to a circular economy.

When you choose Kanbol, you're not just opting for high-quality, durable packaging. You're aligning your brand with a commitment to sustainability and making a quantifiable difference in the fight against climate change.
