Excellent Packaging & Supply's Full Line of Compostable Ingeo® Packaging Revolutionized the Foodservice Industry - Is Your Business Next?
The entrepreneurs who run the nation’s leading dining and catering businesses faced a daunting challenge: To find the smartest way to serve and store their foods in containers, flatware, and tableware that were composed of completely plant-based, carbon-neutral materials. These items had to be both disposable and compostable. Sounds like a tall order to fill, right?
Biodegradable Foodservice Products
Not for the team at Excellent Packaging & Supply. EPS came up with more than 400 different carbon-neutral solutions that meet the foodservice needs of these industry leaders. Their innovative results include the BioMass Packaging® line of biodegradable, compostable, and disposable foodservice packaging, as well as durable SpudWare® utensils, made from vegetable starch.
Now that EPS products have set the new standard in the foodservice industry, what other businesses can benefit from their innovative solutions? Try the pest management industry, for one. That’s because the days of spraying toxic chemicals on lawns to battle grubs and weeds are over. Homeowners are looking for ways to deal with pesky bugs that won’t harm kids and pets.
You’ve probably never heard of a nematode before, but if you’re a gardener, you come in contact with thousands of these beneficial worms all the time. They’re mostly microscopic, and they love feeding on grubs and larvae from their habitats in thick, rich soil. Smart homeowners have discovered that spreading soil containing these nematodes over their lawns is the best way of keeping all sorts of pests at bay.
The top management companies have asked EPS to find a way to transport live nematodes in bio-based containers. The idea here is that if they’re going to be fighting pests in an ecologically sustainable way, then they should be able to transport their “green” pesticides in containers that are just as safe and beneficial to the environment. Everything designed and manufactured by EPS comes from agricultural sources like sugar cane, reed, bamboo, palm, eucalyptus, potato, and Nebraska-grown feed corn – ideal packaging solutions for the job at hand.
Another solution from EPS is perfect for the airline industry. The big carriers typically serve meals on oil-based plastic trays. But an innovative airline has approached EPS to design a reusable tray that can stand up to more than 100 washings, yet is made of compostable, biodegradable material. The same sturdy packaging products found in the BioMass Packaging® line are providing EPS with answers to how they can provide the airline industry with the ultimate in-flight food service tray.
Even Disney is looking for ways of making its theme parks more ecologically friendly. EPS recently fielded inquiries from Disney as to designing a compostable balloon that would replace the shiny, chemically manufactured “character” balloons that are popular in their parks. Disney approached EPS in part because they can get the job done – plus, EPS is committed to achieving a fully compostable waste stream within the next five years.
EPS is taking the very best of its food packaging product lines to come up with new solutions for a diverse array of industries. Take your business to the next level with ecologically sustainable products. Don’t wait – just ask EPS to help design and manufacture your new products today!
