Eco-Products has introduced a new line of clamshells, cups, lids, cutlery, bowls and containers that meet requirements of a new Colorado labeling law taking effect July 1. All of the products in the new Veridian line display the word “Compostable,” feature the BPI Certification Mark signifying that the material is compostable, and include green or brown identification markers like tinting and striping to further differentiate them from non-compostable packaging. \u00a9 Eco-Products<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This makes the new line 100 percent compatible with Colorado’s new Compostable Product Labeling Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Veridian products are all clearly recognizable as compostable,” said\u00a0Wendell Simonson, Director of Marketing at Eco-Products<\/strong>.\u00a0“That simplifies life for foodservice operators and their customers, and helps to ensure composters get the ‘clean’ waste stream they need.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Contamination in waste streams \u2014 which happens when non-compostable items are tossed into the compostables bin \u2014 continues to vex composters. That is slowing the growth of composting infrastructure that processes food scraps and packaging together. The result is more food going to landfills, contributing to climate change as the food waste decomposes and produces methane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Colorado law is designed to prevent that. It requires certain products labeled as compostable to be certified as compostable and clearly marked as such. Producers of non-certified products are banned from using misleading labeling that could falsely imply the products are compostable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eco-Products’ Veridian line was tested and certified by BPI,\u00a0the leading authority<\/a>\u00a0on compostable products in\u00a0North America. The innovative line features over 50 items including cold cups and lids, hot cups and lids, clamshells, deli containers, portion cups, salad bowls and cutlery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
