Compostable Containers

Consumers have started switching to compostable products in their daily lives. Choosing a biodegradable product will have a positive impact on the overall state of the environment. With the trend towards organic, natural products, Responsible Products is here to provide you with these items so you can do your part in becoming eco-friendly. Compostable: This term refers to items that microbes can break down at a rate consistent with other compostable materials, with the right level of heat, water, and oxygen. An important aspect of being considered compostable is that an item breaks down over a reasonable period of time (a week to several months). When composted, items should leave behind no discernible residue or toxins, and result in a nutritive soil amendment. Whether you are ordering for a restaurant, cafe, deli, or other food service businesses, you can choose products that will reduce waste from disposable take-home containers. When these items are made out of materials that are known for not being environmentally friendly, the waste can be detrimental to the environment.
