Our Story

We are a small team of people who are passionate about promoting sustainability through the use of compostables. We believe that composting is the environmentalism of the future, and work hard to spread the knowledge that there are alternatives to disposable plastic.

Our company's founder Ken Jacobus started Good Start Packaging in 2009 because he wanted his children to know that he valued the earth - and had the courage to act on those values - to create a healthier place for them to live. Reducing disposable plastic use is our key mission, in addition to helping our clients be more successful. We know food service operators need reliable, fast delivery, so we operate multiple warehouses in the U.S. and deliver most orders in 24-48 hours.

We are deeply grateful to our clients and to everyone who takes steps to help the environment.
