OURIDEA

BUMI CARE is a subsidiary of by-cosmetics, founded on a shared philosophy: caring for nature. Its name comes from the Indonesian word "Bumi", meaning Earth. Our mission is to protect the planet through innovation in harmony with nature.

We are developing eco-friendly bioplastic made from seaweed - a safe and biodegradable alternative to conventional plastic. In a world shaped by consumption and convenience, the philosophy of bioplastics offers a mindful alternative—rooted in sustainability, responsibility, and innovation. Unlike traditional plastics derived from fossil fuels, bioplastics are made from renewable biological sources like corn starch, sugarcane, or algae. But beyond their physical makeup lies a deeper idea: that materials we use daily should align with the values of environmental harmony, circular design, and ethical progress.

This philosophy asks us to rethink our relationship with nature, to shift from a linear "take-make-dispose" model to one that respects ecological balance. It challenges industries, consumers, and innovators to seek materials that not only serve our needs but also protect future generations.

BUMI CARE has developed a bioplastic formula from seaweed, which does not compete with food crops, freshwater, or fertile land. Our bioplastic completely degrades in soil, freshwater, or seawater within 3 months, without leaving microplastics behind. This is a real step toward a plastic-free future.

The project is led by a team of experts from three leading Indonesian universities - Universitas Padjadjaran, Politeknik Negeri Bali, and Universitas Udayana - collaborating in scientific research, formula development, and sustainability testing from raw material sourcing to the final product.

But BUMI CARE is not just about technology—it’s about values. A portion of our profits supports environmental and charitable initiatives such as forest restoration, ocean cleanup, biodiversity protection, and environmental education. We aim to do more than just replace plastic—we strive to inspire a lifestyle that cares for the Earth.

What Are Fossil Fuels? Coal, crude oil, and natural gas are all considered fossil fuels because they were formed from the fossilized, buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Because of their origins, fossil fuels have a high carbon content.

The word “composting” is much older than the word “biodegradable”, and has thus more historical weight. On the other hand, people become more scientifically aware over time and new words such as “biodegradable” may have been an upgrade or sophistication compared to the word “compostable”. Originally, compostability referred to the ability to initiate a process that lead to the creation of compost, while biodegradability referred to the ability to degrade through a biological process. The difference between the two is that bio-degradation is a naturally-occurring process while composting is human-driven. Composting is an accelerated biodegradation process due to optimized circumstances. Technically speaking, it is probably correct to say that the material/packaging biodegrades during the composting process. Composting includes human management, while biodegradation does not exclude it.

The biodegradable compound is completely used as a source of carbon for microbial growth. Under aerobic conditions, the degradation process results in the production of carbon dioxide, water, mineral salts and new biomass. Under anaerobic conditions, methane and/or low-molecular-mass acids can also be produced.
