Scotiabank and Flow were sponsors of the event, which gained endorsement of the NSWMA. Earthbound is the first Jamaican company specialising in 100 per cent biodegradable containers and packaging. Available in Jamaica since 2006, the products are made from sugarcane, wild reed and corn starch raw material. They decompose naturally into compost.
