COMPANY
About Us
Eco-Products has been providing the foodservice industry with the broadest array of packaging made with renewable and post-consumer recycled content available anywhere for the last 20 years.
How We Started
In 1990 Kent and Steve Savage founded Eco-Products in Boulder, Colorado. For the first 15 years they distributed office and building supplies made from recycled materials. That changed in the mid 2000’s when the first commercialized versions of single-use compostable packaging became available, and Eco-Products shifted focus to the foodservice industry.
If we’ve learned anything during the last 30-plus years, it is that this category is dynamic, ever-evolving, and requires a mix of mission-driven dedication and resource deployment that only Eco-Products can provide.
Green is All We Do™
What makes Eco-Products different?
Since the very beginning, our sole focus has been on products that are either renewable and compostable, or are made with post-consumer recycled content.
Green is All We Do™
The “green” trend in single-use packaging is no longer new, and we’ve seen a lot of products hit the market in this category over the last 20 years.
What makes Eco-Products different? Since the very beginning, our sole focus has been on products that are either renewable and compostable, or are made with post-consumer recycled content.
This gives us the ability to focus ALL of our attention on developing and bringing to market the industry’s most innovative product solutions, while doing everything we can to deliver increasing returns for our customers on their investments in more sustainable packaging.
Product Claims You Can Trust
We know that product claims can be confusing, and that sometimes it is hard to figure out if an item has all of the traits you are looking for.
We are committed to making sure there is full transparency around every product we sell.
For the products that are compostable, we will always be clear around which third-party certifications, approvals, and standards apply. We also clearly communicate which of our products are NOT compostable - our BlueStripe™ products are made with post-consumer recycled content.

Waste Diversion Know-How
Our Product & Zero Waste Specialists (PZWs) are a “dream team” of professionals spread out across the country.
Their primary responsibility is to help our customers divert more of their waste from landfills.
They have relationships with just about every composter in the country that is accepting food scraps and packaging, are experts on the latest regulatory developments in their territories, and know the intricacies of the foodservice industry well enough to create waste diversion success stories in even the most challenging markets.

Storytelling Support and Content Generation
Most operators who make the switch to more sustainable packaging are looking to communicate with their customers about it, and we can help with that, too.
Whether it is basic signage to help your guests know which bin to put compostable products in, or something more involved like a video case study, our Marketing team has done it all and is here to help with all of your communications needs.
Size and Scale to Make an Impact
We’ve been doing this longer than anyone, and over that time we’ve developed relationships with just about every critical stakeholder up and down the value chain – everyone from material suppliers, to distributors, to industry associations, to the composters and haulers that make organics diversion possible.
We’re also lucky to have the resources and support of our parent company, Novolex, as we look for new ways to bring the industry’s best products to market, and increase the likelihood that they will have access to viable recovery systems.
