'West~Bourne,' the New York-based food manufacturer, has created a new form of 100% compostable seed packaging. This packaging offers the same level of protection, insolation, and texture as plastic while being entirely biodegradable with no added steps. This means as soon as you use the food within the package, you can simply throw the faux-plastic packaging into the compost bin, as they are made of 'seed paper' and 'soy-based ink.'
West~Bourne was originally a zero-waste restaurant in Manhattan, New York, and has expanded into a for-home food manufacturer to change the waste-producing state of the market with its founder, Camilla Marcus's, innovative ideas. West~Bourne products range from spices, grains, and granola to breakfast sets and waffle mixes. With West~Bourne products, eco-conscious and health-conscious consumers can feel good about their purchases.
