Compostable Formalwear at a Black Tie Event

Our CEO Susanna Carson has taken compostable packaging to a new level. 

On September 30^th our CEO supported nature education and attended Nature Canada’s inaugural Nature Ball. More than the meal was sustainable at this black tie event. The event helps children and families discover nature and protect it into the future through the NatureHood program.

Susanna took the sustainable theme of the Nature Ball to heart and wore her gown made of compostable Bésics® packaging. Yes, compostable packaging made into a ball gown!

As a founding member of Women for Nature she was honoured to be in attendance with amazing individuals all working towards the common goal of nature conservation.

What were 3 take home memories?

Here is what Susanna Carson had to say…

“Margaret Atwood, guest of honor, was brave and humorous in her remarks discussing her graphic-novel series about a superhero trying to save the planet.”

“African Bronze Honey Project was one of many inspiring organizations represented at the Ball. Their honey sales provide funds for initiatives of Canadian non-profit organizations and helps support a program to train African families to become independent wild-beekeepers.”

“I’m glad I brought a spare dress in order to sit down for dinner.”

At BSIbio we appreciate our CEO’s commitment to sustainability and look forward to supporting Nature Canada events in Western Canada!

Take the next step in sustainability.

Support your CEO.

P.S. Did you see it? Susanna premiered the first version of the gown with colleagues at Richmond’s COOL2016: Cool Events for a Cool Planet expo in April 2016.
