Which to choose: GreenStripe or BlueStripe?
Posted by Eco-Products on Jul 18th 2017
As you well know, Eco-Products® offers two distinct lines of products: GreenStripe® and BlueStripe™. You may have wondered which line is better for your situation. Well, wonder no more; we are here to help! Below is a quick-start guide to help you find your stripe.
GreenStripe
Our GreenStripe line has two significant features:
- Made from renewable resources
- Certified compostable in commercial composting facilities (except our PSM cutlery)
This line is great if composting is available to your customers who are then able to send our products off to a new life as compost. However, these items are still a great choice even when not composted, because we are using renewable resources rather than oil (which is non-renewable) to make these disposable items.
*Something to keep in mind:
-100% PLA items are not compatible with high temperatures
BlueStripe
Our BlueStripe line:
- Is made from post-consumer recycled content, so we can give the material a new life!
- Supports a circular economy
This line is great if you do not have composting available in your area. By buying BlueStripe™ products, you are supporting recycling markets around the country.
*Something to keep in mind:
-BlueStripe™products may not be recyclable in all communities
