Biodegradable Products

Why Use Our Biodegradable Products

Traditional plastic and styrofoam disposables are made from petroleum based chemicals and additives. These products cause pollution and toxicity every step of their use-extraction, transportation, refining and production of end use product.

Literally millions of pounds of plastic and Styrofoam products end up in landfills every year. Unfortunately, products like these do not break down until hundreds of years later, and even then sometimes deposit toxins into the earth.

Based on data from the EPA, 730 thousand tons of styrofoam and plastic plates and cups are disposed of annually. Using 10 grams weight for each cup and plate, 73 Billion plates and cups are disposed of every year in the U.S.

Most disposable hot beverage cups are coated with a Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), a petrochemical plastic. LDPE, which often is ingested, is not renewable and non-compostable and makes the only methods of disposal litter, landfill and incineration.

40 billion polystyrene utensils are thrown out nationally on an annual basis, which creates tens of millions of pounds of solid waste.

Our products we offer will lessen an organization’s impact on the environment (i.e. decreased soil and water contamination, decreased amount of solid waste in landfills, reduced fossil fuel usage, etc.)

Our biodegradable food service disposables provide a sustainable alternative to styrofoam, plastic and paper products, as they are made from renewable sources, take less energy to manufacture, are not made from toxic or pollution causing sources, reduce the amount of solid waste generated and will not contaminate the soil or water.

Aside from their ability to break down, the products we offer are sturdy and durable, able to stand up to the same use as comparable items. They will easily replace any conventional disposable products currently used for food service and not sacrifice quality.
