Eco-Products was recognized for creating a superior method of printing on molded fiber products, allowing operators to prominently display their brand and their commitment to sustainability.
“Printing limitations have made it difficult to effectively brand and message molded fiber items,” said Nicole Tariku, Director of Product Development for Eco-Products. “This breakthrough will help operators deliver an elevated brand experience and make it easier for consumers to identify the products as compostable.”
Vegware earned its award for bringing to market a new option for customers that need a fiber-based cutlery solution that is compostable.
“We are truly honored to be recognized for developing our groundbreaking new paper cutlery, a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic utensils,” said Helen Mathieson, Managing Director of Vegware. “Our cutlery combines strength and durability to handle the crunchiest of meals, while delivering a silky-smooth eating experience. Moreover, it’s compostable in commercial facilities, embodying our commitment to developing sustainable solutions.”
