Compostable Food Packaging Proliferates |
|
Eco-Products, a provider of biodegradable and compostable food packaging, joins a handful of companies that offer compostable food packaging products. Available in April, the company claims the first commercially available compostable hot cup lid in North America.
The hot cup lid will fit stock sizes of hot paper cups: 10, 12, 16,
20 and 24 ounces. The lid is heat stable up to 220 degrees and is
designed to breakdown within 90 to 120 days in a commercial compost
facility.
Made from Ingeo biopolymer from NatureWorks LLC, the product enables
restaurants, hotels, university and corporate campuses, and others, to
provide the first fully renewable hot cup and lid system. Eco-Products
has submitted the lid to the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI).
