Living Up to Our Vision
Posted by Eco-Products on Apr 10th 2019
“Eco-Products will be in the vanguard of our Zero Waste future” – this is our company vision statement. If you’re not aware, “vanguard” is defined as “the forefront of an action or movement” (at least, according to Merriam-Webster). We work to achieve this by developing innovative packaging with real environmental benefits, helping our customers improve their composting and recycling programs, and partnering with others in the industry to shift how we think about and manage waste as a society. In keeping with our commitment to product innovation, we are proud to announce our new Vanguard™ line.
Vanguard sugarcane products are microwave friendly, effective in both hot and cold applications, and water and grease resistant. They are also designed to meet the forthcoming requirements of the Biodegradable Product Institute for compostability certification that will go into effect on January 1, 2020. The Vanguard line uses proprietary alternative compounds to achieve grease-resistance performance. Its creation required more than a year of testing, and Eco-Products has patents pending on the new formula.
The initial line, available in a limited release, includes a 10-inch round plate, a three-compartment 10-inch plate, a 9-inch single-compartment clamshell and a three-compartment 9-inch clamshell. A select group of customers are currently testing the initial run. More products will be added soon, including bowls and other sizes of plates and clamshells.
