Annika Andrup, Vice President of Marketing at InnoWare, said: "These new products are launched in response to the growing demand for environmentally friendly packaging from restaurants and consumers, and in line with our corporate commitment to social responsibility."
InnoWare partnered with Cereplast, a manufacturer of proprietary bio-based resins, to produce its new packaging, which is certified as "compostable" by the Biodegradable Products Association (BPI). To be certified, plastic products must decompose within 60 to 180 days. Only a very small number of plastic containers made from materials derived from annual renewable resources hold this designation.
Excellent performance Eco-Line
Unlike materials called biodegradable, materials certified as compostable can be composted quickly and do not release any toxic residues. "Our Eco-Line quickly returns to nature without leaving a trace," says Randrup. Randrup adds, "InnoWare's Eco-Line has significantly reduced its environmental impact during production, thanks to the use of a resin based on an annual renewable resource such as corn. Corn can be planted again. Certain other resources used to make compostable packaging cannot be replaced."
Because InnoWare's Eco-Line is manufactured with Cereplast's resin, these containers have other significant advantages over most other compostable packaging. They are not only more durable, but also heat resistant up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 "C). This is important to maintain the integrity of packaging during transportation and storage.
Eco-Line's logo is printed on the solid lid with the slogan "Back to Nature"
"This is a clear message to end users that our products are environmentally friendly and that we as a company are actively involved in protecting our natural resources," Randrup said.
InnoWare has introduced compostable packaging through its Expressions design, called Eco-Line. This beautiful two-piece square plastic food box is available in 3 sizes with a solid and clear embossed lid. Customers can have their logo embossed on any kind of lid to create brand awareness. A follow-up plan is to add additional packaging designs to InnoWare's EcoLine
