Compostable Foodservice Lines
The New Veridian™ Collection Targets Composter Contamination
Kanesa D — March 12, 2024Eco-Products® has unveiled a special product line to simplify the differentiation between compostable and non-compostable items for consumers, composters, and the entire food service industry. The new Veridian™ line comprises cups, lids, containers, and cutlery, all featuring prominent labeling with the word "Compostable" alongside the BPI Certification Mark, indicating their compostable nature.
Comprising over 50 items spanning various categories such as cold cups, hot cups, clamshells, deli containers, portion cups, salad bowls, and cutlery, the Veridian line aligns with new labeling regulations in Washington state and Colorado.
“Composters have an extremely limited ability to deal with contamination once it gets to their facilities,” Simonson said. “That means we need to do everything possible to keep non-compostable products out of organics streams, and consistent on-item labeling is a foundational piece of that effort.”
