Food Service Items That Serve the Planet

COVID-19 has significantly impacted our food service industry, resulting in an increase in demand for the items required to support take-out and delivery.

In the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, many of the businesses being affected are in the food service industry. In lieu of welcoming customers in, restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and fast food establishments are focusing on take-out and delivery. The corresponding increase in demand for food service items will present a significant problem when they inevitably escape the recycling net.

ECLIPSE™ will reduce plastic pollution.

Our proven ECLIPSE™ sustainable polymer additive ensures that plastic bio-assimilates like paper in both terrestrial and marine environments, leaving behind no microplastics. Designed for use in polyolefins like PE and PP, ECLIPSE™ is the answer to our plastic pollution problem. With a simple 1% inclusion rate in the production process, ECLIPSE™ is ASTM 5526 and 6954 certified, FDA approved and 100% recyclable.

This sustainable polymer additive has a wide range of food service item applications, including but not limited to:

  • Straws
  • Stir sticks
  • Cups
  • Lids
  • Plates
  • Food delivery containers
  • Bags, liners and pouches
