Rice Straw
Into Eco Plates.
We connect Thai farmers who make 100% biodegradable packaging from burning straw with restaurants, hotels and schools — at prices that beat plastic. Farmers earn 3× more. Buyers get guilt-free packaging. We stop the smoke.
The Crisis
Thailand is on Fire.
Every harvest season, millions of rai of rice straw are burned — choking Northern Thailand in toxic PM2.5 smog. Meanwhile, restaurants pile up single-use plastic waste. Both problems. One solution.
25M+ Tons Burned Yearly
Thai farmers burn 25 million tons of rice straw annually. It's the fastest way to clear fields — but it destroys air quality and soil health.
25M tons/yr
PM2.5 Health Crisis
Chiang Mai ranks #1 most polluted city globally during burn season. 60% of the smog comes from agricultural burning.

Plastic Packaging Tsunami
Thailand is the 6th largest plastic polluter in the world. Restaurants need affordable alternatives — but current bio-packaging costs 2–3× more.
฿5–8B market/yrThe Platform
The Airbnb of Eco-Packaging.
We don't build factories. We give farmers equipment, training, brand, and guaranteed buyers. They produce on their own land. We distribute. Everyone wins.
How the Model Works
1. Raw Straw
Post-harvest waste collected instead of burned in the fields.
2. Farmer Hub
Straw is soaked, pulped, and pressed into waterproof eco-plates.
3. ZeroBurn Platform
Quality control, branding, packaging, and logistics routing.
4. Restaurant
Premium compostable packaging delivered to B2B partners.
The Math
From Burning Straw to Printing Money.
A Starter-tier hub (฿140K equipment) generates ฿480K/yr revenue. That's ฿40K/mo — vs ฿8K/mo from rice alone.
฿140K
Full starter-tier hub cost. Paid back in 10 months via installments.
480K pcs/yr
Starter hub produces 480,000 plates, bowls and trays per year.
3.4× ROI
Annual return on equipment investment in Year 1.
Carbon Credits
Straw diverted from burning earns additional carbon credit revenue.
Who Is This For?
There's a Role For You.
The platform works because all three sides benefit. Pick your role:
I'm a Farmer
Turn your straw into income. We bring equipment, training, brand, and guaranteed buyers. You keep 75% of revenue and own your equipment after 10 months.
Apply for a Hub →I'm a Restaurant
Switch to 100% biodegradable packaging at competitive prices. Every order plants a story on your menu: "These plates were made by farmers, not factories."
Place an Order →I'm an Angel Investor
Fund the technology & distribution platform scaling the ZeroBurn network. Seed 15 hubs, capture platform margins, and project a 5× exit as we reach 50 hubs.

Three Phases. One Mission.
Phase 1 — Months 1–4
Prove the Model
Set up 3 farmer hubs in one province. Sign 10 restaurant buyers with letters of intent. Validate quality, delivery, and economics.
Phase 2 — Months 4–12
Build the Platform
Launch the buyer portal and farmer dashboard. Onboard 15 hubs and 100+ buyers. Apply for FDA Thai certification to unlock hotels and export.
Phase 3 — Year 2+
Scale to 50+ Hubs
Expand to all major rice-growing provinces. Reach ฿50M annual GMV. Pursue export contracts and government programs (BOI, GIZ partnerships).
