Eco-Products History
The idea probably hit Steve Savage while
standing on top of a Colorado 14’er or while
traveling
across the rolling plains of Kansas where he
went to College. His idea was to bring high
quality
eco-friendly products to the Boulder
business community. With two grants from the
Small
Business Association, a business plan, a one
page product catalog and a Savannah Cargo
Van,
Eco-Products was born.
Back then, Steve took the orders, delivered the goods,
counted inventory and maintained the
delivery van. In 1990, Eco-Products’
portfolio consisted of a few recycled office
products and
‘green’ janitorial supplies. It was several
years before Steve rewarded himself the
luxury of hiring
an employee. Now, Eco-Products has over 60
employees in the Corporate office alone.
As consumer’s environmental consciousness expanded so
did Eco-Products. Today Eco-Products
sells over 100 different products to all
fifty states, Canada and Mexico. They grew
from a small
eco-friendly distributor into the most
recognized brand of environmental
foodservice products
nationwide, employing more than forty
employees and always ‘walking the talk’.
