Compostable packaging manufacturer Vegware (www.vegwareus.com) celebrates its first birthday since launching a year ago in Huntington Beach.
Unlike conventional disposable serviceware, Vegware’s entire range is compostable, using only renewable, lower carbon or recycled materials. For businesses seeking plastic-free packaging alternatives, Vegware has arrived from Scotland just at the right time. Vegware’s founder and CEO, Joe Frankel explains why:
“You can’t recycle food with plastic in it, and you can’t recycle plastic with food on it. Moving to compostable catering disposables means that food and packaging waste can be composted together. We believe compostables are the only practical recycling solution for foodservice. And we’re proud to offer Environmental support to help clients implement zero waste programs.”
The plastic tide is turning with businesses and, in some cases, entire states seeking plastic-free catering alternatives. Many universities, coffee shops, office buildings and restaurant chains have already made the switch to Vegware.
Vegware’s Environmental support separates the company from other eco disposables suppliers. Their Environmental team takes foodservice providers on a journey to zero waste, providing support every step of the way. Their unprecedented engagement with the waste industry allows Vegware to work with waste hauliers to ensure compostable packaging and food waste is collected for composting.
Abigail Macleod, Vegware Packaging Inc’s General Manager, says:
“The US and Scotland have a long history of strong trade links, so it only seemed natural our next global venture would be to open an office here. So far, we’ve been humbled by the support and interest in our compostable packaging solution. Huntington Beach, CA, gives us a great base to provide the West Coast and wider areas of America with our compostable packaging solutions. We’ve been delighted with our first year of trading in the US and we are so proud to be at the forefront of the composting revolution.”
Established in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2006, Vegware has operational bases in Sydney and Hong Kong with wide distribution throughout Europe, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Get in touch! us.info@vegware.com | (844) 610-0915
