Bioplates by Alex Hell Wins Silver at A’ Design Award for Sustainable Products
October 17, 2025 – COMO, Italy — Bioplates, an innovative biodegradable tableware solution designed by Alex Hell, has earned the Silver A’ Design Award in the Sustainable Products, Projects and Green Design category. This prestigious accolade spotlights Bioplates as a leading contribution in sustainable product design, recognized for its blend of eco-friendly innovation, durability, and elegance.
What Makes Bioplates Stand Out?
Crafted from a next-generation biopolymer reinforced with natural minerals, Bioplates offer exceptional durability—they withstand temperatures up to 140°C and up to 7,000 industrial dishwasher cycles—without sacrificing biodegradability. Its textured surface hides cutlery marks, and an engraved environmental message on the bottom elevates its educational value. These attributes make Bioplates especially suitable for luxury outdoor dining and professional hospitality environments seeking sustainable alternatives without compromising aesthetic or functionality.
