Compostable Products2018

When food scraps are composted, they create a valuable soil amendment. Using compost in soil conserves water, reduces storm water run-off, improves plant health, and minimizes the need for artificial fertilizers (among many other benefits). Using compostable packaging eliminates having to separate food from its container at the bin.

Are you in the loop?USE RENEWABLE RESOURCES

DIVERT ORGANICS FROM LANDFILLS

Do you want to get to Zero Waste?Or maybe you’re not reaching for zero, but you want to keep as much material as possible out of landfills. Good for you! There are two approaches foodservice operators can take to divert materials from landfills: recycling and composting.

Recycling works by turning landfill-bound material into new products.As you can imagine, the companies buying material to recycle it into something else don’t want food. Dealing with crumbs and old cheese is difficult and expensive, not to mention gross.

Therefore, food must be separated from packaging if the packaging is to be recycled. Unfortunately baseball fans, concert goers, and restaurant customers aren’t very good at sorting. It’s extremely likely a lot of food will end up in the bin designated for packaging. For recyclers, this is not cool. If they consistently get too much stuff they don’t want, they may stop accepting the material altogether. Also, there aren’t many people who want to repurpose old nacho trays, so these items have lo value and are very difficult to recycle.

Now let’s talk about composting. Composters WANT food! It adds nutrients to the composting process. This means any leftover food and compostable packaging should end up in the same bin. Easy! Finished compost can be used to grow more plants, which can be turned into cups. We love closed loops.

It’s crucial for waste diverting foodservice operators to take a systems-based approach. Planning to use all compostables at the outset means no one will have to decide what goes where and get bin paralysis.

Get in the loop. Compostable packaging makes it easy for organizations to close the loop and get to Zero Waste.

A systems-based approach makes it easy for you and your customers

What does “Zero Waste” mean? (Psst. . . it’s not as scary as you might think)

The Zero Waste International Alliance defines “Zero Waste” in part as: “a goal that is ethical, economical, efficient and visionary, to guide people in changing their lifestyles and practices to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are designed to become resources for others to use.”

In practice, it is an aspiration. Why not aim for the ideal end state? While it is unlikely most organizations will actually achieve Zero Waste to landfill, striving for all materials to be a useful input for something else is the best way to inspire meaningful action.

Many organizations consider themselves “Zero Waste” when 90% of their materials are diverted from landfills and incinerators. However, regardless of the number, an organization is on the Zero Waste journey when it is making meaningful strides to eliminate waste.

Every product in this catalog is compatible with Zero Waste programs.

GreenStripe® - Renewable & Compostable*

BUNDLE: We’re big fans of a systems approach to waste diversion featuring a comprehensive line of consistently branded disposables. We make 350+ SKUs, and we’re continually developing new products to serve everything from apple fritters to zucchini tots.

• Made from renewable plant materials that can be grown again and again.

• All GreenStripe® products (except PSM Cutlery) are compostable, which means they can be returned to the soil to help plants grow.

• Compostable GreenStripe® products are ASTM compliant and BPI certified compostable in commercial facilities only, which may not exist in your area.

• Not made from oil like traditional plastics.

• Not suitable for backyard composting. These products need the high heat and careful management of a commercial pile to break down.

• Paper and Sugarcane products can go in the freezer, although they are not airtight, so freshness and freezer burn can become issues if left there for too long. PLA can become brittle when frozen, so we don’t recommend putting these products in the freezer.

ADVOCACY: We could just sell cups and call it a day, but at Eco-Products we’re committed to a Zero Waste future - this is truly what drives us. We strive to lead our industry to become one that solves problems instead of creating them.

Eco-Products officially became a certified B Corp in July 2016. If you’re not familiar with B Corp, think of it as a sustainability certification for businesses, similar to what organic certification is for milk, or what Fair Trade certification is for coffee. Companies who are certified B Corps have been verified by the non-profit organization B Lab to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. This puts Eco-Products alongside some of the most respected sustainability-minded brands such as Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s, Seventh Generation and Etsy – just to name a few. You can find out more about B Corp by checking out their website https://www.bcorporation.net/

We know we can only do so much as one company, even if we’re working our tails off. That’s why we’re active in a number of industry groups. Collaboration = bigger impact.

Compostable Products 2018

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation New Plastics Economy vision for a more sustainable approach to plastics includes compostable packaging for food contact applications. https://newplasticseconomy.org/report-2017

BioCycle published an article that quantified food scraps diverted through the use of compostable packaging. Composters got 72% more food when operators used compostable foodservice packaging. https://www.biocycle.net/2016/08/15/compostable-products-postconsumer-food-scraps/

According to the SPC’s “The Value of Compostable Packaging” report, by using compostable packaging at Farm Aid 2016, the festival organizers:

1. Kept more than 19,000 pounds of food out of the landfill.

2. Prevented the release of more than 14,000 pounds of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere.

3. Increased food scraps collection by an incredible 122%!

http://greenblue.org/work/value-of-compostable-packaging/

ReFED identified commercial composting as the solution with the greatest potential for keeping food scraps out of landfills. http://www.refed.com

We have long believed in and advocated for the role compostable packaging can play in diverting food scraps from landfills. With compostable packaging, the concert goer, baseball fan, or restaurant customer doesn’t have to sort their uneaten sandwich crust from their plate. Putting everything in one bin makes life easer for them...and the composter. Recently, a number of reports have highlighted the potential that composting and compostable packaging can play in waste diversion.

Third Parties are Validating our System Solutions Approach

“As a commercial composter, I have confidence in servicing events and venues that have partnered with Eco-Products. Their full commitment to Zero Waste means I get more food scraps with minimal contamination – and that helps my business. As an example, because Farm Aid 2016 partnered with Eco-Products, I got 121% more food scraps and only 2% contamination. Eco-Products is doing it right.”

Composting is a key element in the pursuit of a more sustainable and zero waste operation. By managing your resources properly and efficiently you can excel towards a truly sustainable future. This guide can help you get started.

COMPOSTING GUIDE

What is composting anyway?• Composting: Nature’s way of breaking down and recycling materials. The process involves

microorganisms decomposing organic matter to produce carbon dioxide, water, heat, and compost. Finished compost has valuable nutrients for enhancing the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of soil.

• Items that can be composted include yard trimmings, fruit and vegetable scraps, dairy and meat, paper products, and other certified compostable products such as plastic made from corn.

What’s so cool about it?• Reduces material sent to landfills

• Creates valuable soil amendments: Compost supplies nutrients essential to plant growth, such as nitrogen, and creates good soil structure, preventing erosion. This can greatly reduce the environmental impacts of agriculture and landscaping through less irrigation and fertilizer use.

• Greenhouse gas reduction - When organic material goes to landfills, it breaks down in an anaerobic (i.e., oxygen-free) environment, releasing methane, a greenhouse gas over 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Composting keeps much of the materials’ carbon in the soil, thereby greatly reducing its impact on climate change.

What can you compost?Pre-Consumer: Food scraps from kitchens and prep areas. This also includes prepared, unserved, and non-reusable or non-donateable food (post production, but before the consumer). Post-Consumer: Left-over food not eaten by consumers and certified compostable foodservice products such as cup, cutlery and food-soiled paper.

What’s happens to it?• Organic material can be hauled away and composted by a commercial composter. The facility will

turn the feedstock material into compost, a valuable soil ammendment.

HOW DO I COMPOST?Building Infrastructure

1. Determine the flow of food scraps from wherever they are generated to their ultimate destination at your facilities.

2. Set up buckets or bins to collect organic scraps as necessary. Depending on the size of the space, you may have smaller receptacles where the scraps are generated, a larger receptacle inside to centralize collection, then a compactor or large receptacle out back that will be provided and serviced by the hauler. Certified compostable liners can help keep bins clean and minimize washing.

1. Identify where employees and customers will dispose of their compostables

2. Determine how it will be collected, and how it will ultimately end up in the receptacle serviced by the hauler. This can include bin stations in public areas, or back-of-house operations that collect the leftovers from consumers who left food on their plate.

3. Place compostable collection bins next to existing recycling and trash bins. This can greatly decrease the chance of contamination, as consumers with multiple waste streams are not likely to seek out separate bins in separate locations. Bin messaging depicting images of the exact products used on-site is critical.

What about Bins?

There are many different bin systems on the market. It can be as simple as repurposing/labeling bins you already have. You can also purchase multi-bin systems that have compartments for each stream. We recommend

picking a system you can use consistently throughout your buildings and grounds, , preferably with color-coding for each material stream, so people know what to do wherever they are.

3. Build Infrastructure

Pre-Consumer (“Back-of-the-House”) Post-Consumer (“Front-of-the-House”)

There are two areas and groups that you need to consider when setting up composting - Pre-Consumer “back-of-the-house” and the Post-Consumer “front-of-the-house.” Post-Consumer is typically more complex than pre-consumer composting, given involvement by untrained consumers (and there are way more consumers than employees to train) and increased opportunities for contamination.

2016 was a big year for Eco-Products, as well as the global push toward Zero Waste. We saw foodservice operators around the world make commitments to advance their Zero Waste practices, US federal agencies take significant steps towards their food waste goals, and various groups issue detailed studies about the role that compostable foodservice packaging and commercial composting can play in our transition to a circular economy. To cap it all off, even more communities around the country built on the trend of requiring the use of compostable packaging.

Why do we have a Sustainability Report?Sustainability at Eco-Products is not a marketing campaign nor a stand-alone initiative. It is core to who we are and why we are in business.

We publish our Sustainability Report because we don’t feel right about calling ourselves “a green company that happens to operate in disposables” unless we make our sustainability approach, goals, successes and challenges public. Reporting holds us accountable to continuous improvement and enables us to treat sustainability just like any other important business priority. Looking ForwardIn 2017, we are reframing our sustainability goals around four distinct categories to better reflect our priorities and our work: Zero Waste Infrastructure, Zero Waste Foodservice Operators, Products, and People. We look forward to reporting back on how we did in next year’s report!

Case Study

Four-location restaurant chain based in South Carolina, featuring salads and organic ingredients. Very dedicated to supporting their local community.

Verde, South CarolinaVerde is a four-location restaurant chain based in South Carolina, featuring salads and organic ingredients. They are “dedicated to being green inside and out” and to making it easy for their customers “to experience the benefits of eating, going, and being green.” Talk about a kindred spirit to Eco-Products!

This customer uses our GreenStripe compostable products, including custom cups and soup containers that help convey their brand using their voice. By using compostable packaging and offering compost bins in the front-of-house of their restaurants, it is easy for Verde customers to participate in waste diversion. Since very few items are not compostable or recyclable, putting the right stuff in the right bin is easy.

An especially cool aspect about our relationship with Verde is the fact that their compost hauler – Food Waste Disposal – is actually their distributor for Eco-Products. With no shortage of greenwashing when it comes to “green” foodservice packaging, FWD saw an opportunity to help its composting customers buy only truly compostable, BPI-certified products. Through a partnership with FWD, we started an innovative way to further our Zero Waste mission and support our customers’ sustainability efforts.
