Veridian cups, bowls, and cutlery are easily identifiable as
compostable, meeting all requirements of the state's upcoming
labeling law
BOULDER,
Colo., June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Eco-Products® is offering a new line of
clamshells, cups, lids, cutlery, bowls and containers that meet all
requirements of a new Colorado
labeling law taking effect July
1.
All of the innovative products in the new Veridian™ line
showcase the word "Compostable," feature the BPI Certification Mark
signifying that the material is compostable, and include green or
brown identification markers like tinting and striping to further
differentiate them from non-compostable packaging.
This makes the new line 100 percent compatible with Colorado's new Compostable Product Labeling
Act.
"Veridian products are all clearly recognizable as compostable,"
said Wendell Simonson, Director of
Marketing at Eco-Products. "That simplifies life for
foodservice operators and their customers, and helps to ensure
composters get the 'clean' waste stream they need."
Contamination in waste streams — which happens when
non-compostable items are tossed into the compostables bin —
continues to vex composters. That is slowing the growth of
composting infrastructure that processes food scraps and packaging
together. The result is more food going to landfills, contributing
to climate change as the food waste decomposes and produces
methane.
The new Colorado law is
designed to prevent that. It requires certain products labeled as
compostable to be certified as compostable and clearly marked as
such. Producers of non-certified products are banned from using
misleading labeling that could falsely imply the products are
compostable.
Eco-Products' Veridian line was tested and certified by BPI, the
leading authority on compostable products in North America. The innovative line features
over 50 items including cold cups and lids, hot cups and lids,
clamshells, deli containers, portion cups, salad bowls and
cutlery.
The Veridian collection is available across the U.S. Learn more
