OUR PRODUCTS
The products within our 2 platforms have different characteristics, different environmental stories, and can fit customers needs in different ways Eco-Products Platforms
Made from Renewable ResourcesCompostable when done Renewable resources help move us away from non-renewable resources, like oil Most GreenStripe ® products are certified compostable in a commercial composting facility Composting keeps these products out of the landfill Made from renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, and paper- Not from oil
Made from Recycled Materials Recyclable in a Few Lucky Places Recycled plastic is a better choice than virgin plastic Post-consumer recycled materials can actually help prevent waste from heading to the landfill We encourage everyone to explore what is recyclable in their location We use post-consumer recycled material in our BlueStripe™ products like recycled Polyethylene, recycled paper, and Recycled polystyrene Today, BlueStripe™ products are accepted for recycling in some lucky communities Recycling varies by town because each recycling facility is different
