Be Green Packaging LLC creates alternatives to the ordinary plastic (and styrofoam) crap you find for takeout or picnics. All of their items are made from a plant fiber blend like bulrush, kenaf, wheatstraw, bamboo, rice & bagasse. The products are never from trees nor dyed – with a natural color – making them compostable, biodegradable and recyclable. Plus, plastic & styrofoam should NEVER go in the microwave or oven since there’s risk of chemical leakage into your food.
Be Green Packaging has a variety of containers perfect for stores & takeout restaurants, as well as plates perfect for the office & home. Products include Utility Trays, Food trays, supermarket food trays, sushi trays & lids, sample cups, plates, clamshells and bowls. You’ll recognize the utility trays from your local Whole Foods and wish your neighborhood takeout joint would switch to their greener products.
Plus, Be Green Packaging is Non-GMO Product Verified, Cradle to Cradle Certified, Biodegradable Product Institute Certified, WMU Certified Recyclable AND USDA Certified Bio based Products. Plus, they are still safe for the oven/freezer & microwave AND grease/moisture resistant. Can you get any additional green street cred? I think not.
Another plus of supporting Be Green Packaging? They give back to the community, like Whole Planet Foundation which helps micro lending for women in economically developing countries. Other benefactors include Organic Center, Santa Barbara Community Environmental Council and Organic Soup Kitchen – among others.
As McDonough & Braungart emphasize in the Upcycle, it’s small companies like Be Green Packaging that will come up with innovative changes essential for our climate. As consumers, we just need to support the right companies that align with our beliefs.
