Tree-Free Compostable Packaging

Notree Designs are 100% Compostable in Commercial Facilities

— August 28, 2021 — Eco
World Centric recently expanded its NoTree range of 100% tree-free, bio-based and compostable packaging with 17 new products, all of which are compostable in commercial composting facilities. These sustainable packaging solutions help to provide alternatives to traditional disposable foodservice ware for operators and they make the most of materials like bamboo and sugarcane with bio-based moisture barrier linings.

In addition to being sustainably designed, the packaging solutions are heat lamp tolerant, warming oven-friendly and are they may be used for holding hot or cold foods.

Notably, the NoTree Takeout Boxes have a PLA-based, compostable window as an alternative to traditional petroleum plastic windows, and these products are said to be "sustainable alternatives that perform as well as, or even better than, the products they are replacing."
Trend Themes
1. Compostable Packaging - The demand for eco-friendly packaging options is increasing; companies can focus on developing sustainable alternatives to plastics and other traditional materials.
2. Bio-based Materials - As consumers become more concerned with sustainability, companies can develop innovative products using bamboo and sugarcane, like those used by NoTree Designs.
3. Alternative Windows - PLA-based windows provide a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum plastic windows, offering an opportunity for companies to develop new and innovative products using eco-friendly materials.
Industry Implications
1. Foodservice Industry - As the NoTree Designs packaging is oven-friendly and suitable for hot and cold foods, the foodservice industry can seize opportunities to switch over to more sustainable packaging options.
2. Packaging Industry - With the increasing demand for compostable packaging, the packaging industry can develop new solutions using bio-based materials and innovative designs that offer eco-friendly alternatives to traditional packaging.
3. Sustainable Materials Industry - The production and use of new and innovative sustainable materials like bamboo and sugarcane are a growing trend, presenting opportunities for companies to focus on developing eco-friendly materials and products.
