Plant based packaging supports the environment and your business
Benefits of plant based packaging
Environment benefits of using compostable packaging are substantial. It requires less carbon to produce, reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill and produces no toxins as it breaks down. The business benefits are sometimes overlooked, but are just as significant. Eco-friendly packaging not only reflects well on your overall company image, but also suggests a higher quality product. More and more people are acting on their concerns for the environment by ‘going green’. For this reason, plant-based packaging is likely to expand your customer base.

Bioplastic is used in our Cold cups, Cutlery, Deli containers and many more packaging products.

Bagasse is a dry fibrous byproduct of sugar production. Leftover sugarcane stalks are collected, processed and using high temperatures, molded into various container shapes.
