Ecovative design. EATWARE COMPOSTABLE FOOD CONTAINERS | Inhabitat. The next time you venture out for a picnic in the park, consider a greener food ware product- Eatware products come in a variety of shapes and sizes, can safely hold oils and water, be stored in the fridge, are microwave-safe, AND are 100% compostable. Eatware is made of 100% natural fibers from bamboo, sugar cane pulp, starch and water- and no chemical additives!
While there are several biodegradable food container companies on the market, some potato starch based; some corn starch based, Eatware is among the most durable and safe- decomposable in the compost and dispersed in water in just two weeks. While biodegradable materials are a step in the right direction, many contain plastic polymers to keep their shape, and can take hundreds of years to break down before they can begin decomposing into soil. In contrast, Eatware products can decompose in soil in just 180 days, and though we don’t recommend it- you could actually eat them! Green Council.

Excellent Packaging & Supply's Latest BioMass Packaging Breakthrough with a full line of Catering Trays, Bowls, and Lids for the Disposable Foodservice Packaging Industry A RECENT CONSUMER STUDY found that Americans rank sustainability issues as No. 1.
That’s right – in that special survey, they rank ‘going green’ above human rights, above welfare issues, and above animal rights when shopping for food products. So make no mistake about it: Sustainability is the most important consideration restaurant patrons and supermarket shoppers make when choosing where they eat and from whom they buy their groceries. The way those foods are packaged and presented are also vital components of these buying decisions.
That’s why the folks at Excellent Packaging & Supply (EPS) have developed a full line of completely biodegradable, compostable, and disposable foodservice packaging. LET’S FACE IT – caterers demand products that are more durable than those used in the average restaurant or home kitchen. PLA: An alternative for plastic bottles | AsiaFoodJournal.com. Work on the PLA (polymer polylactic acid) reflects a recent push to develop biodegradable products from renewable sources. The result is a new solution for packaging liquid foods. PLA caught Sidel’s eye. So, “when our customers began asking questions about this new material, Sidel was able to respond because R&D had been looking into the material since it appeared in liquid food applications in 1995,” states Luc Desoutter, R&D departmental manager. PLA is a compostable material, but it remains stable at room temperature.
Temperatures must exceed 550C for the material to decompose rapidly. PLA’s mechanical properties constitute an advantage for blow molding applications. Unlike PP (polypropylene), PLA’s window of processability is broad because its density is close to that of PET, and it is semi-crystalline. Biogreen Products. Co. homepage.
