Our Mission

At Eco-Products, we understand the connection between the health of the planet and the impacts of disposable packaging. Every day we work to advance Zero Waste sys-

tems, and help our customers be better stewards of the environment.

Our Manifesto

At Eco-Products, we believe waste can be a wonderful thing. A bottle can be recycled into a BlueStripeTM cup. An unfinished meal to-go can nourish our soils.

A take-out container with food scraps be sent to the compost. It sounds hard, but it's our job to figure it out.

We obsess over things like composting, recycling and a product's life cycle. We put specialists in the field to work with local communities to expand access to com-

mercial composting and recycling. We seek out opportunities in our everyday operations to curtail environmental impacts.

Because we believe there's purpose in our plates. There's consciousness in our cups.

There's potential in your humble food scraps.

We're all partners in the regeneration of the planet. And what feels simple, like drinking from a cup or tossing food into the compost bin

with a fork can make big changes in the world.

You don't need to be an expert to understand. Together we can turn the end of the meal into a planet of possibilities.

We can put waste to work. That's not a mouthful. That's a movement.

That's Eco-Products.

What do we mean when we say a product is "compostable"?

To us, something is "compostable" if there is scientific evidence that the product will break down or become part of stable compost in a safe and timely manner, in a properly managed commercial composting facility.

(If that language looks familiar, it's because we basically lifted copy from the Federal Trade Commission's Green Guides.)

What counts as scientific evidence?

FIELD TESTING FOR COMPOSTABLE PRODUCTS

We submit all of our BPI-certified items to the Compost Manufacturing Alliance (CMA) for field testing.

The CMA is a nationwide partnership of compost manufacturing facilities providing field disintegration testing for foodservice products across the country. CMA's mission is to make compost manufacturing more sustainable by working proactively to field-test compostable products in real-world compost processing technologies. We were one of the first supporters of CMA as we see value in having composters test and confirm that our products break down successfully at their facilities. This is a valuable complement to the lab-based BPI certification, which we have long used as third-party validation of compostability.
