Sourcing

Here’s How...

1. We Prioritize Certified Packaging

We focus on products backed by credible third-party certifications, not vague environmental claims.

We look for:

CMA Certified Compostable
NSF Certified Compostable
TÜV Certified Compostable
BPI Certified Compostable
FSC Certified
No Added PFAS verification
High post-consumer recycled (PCR) content
Materials widely accepted in established recycling streams

Certifications matter because they provide independent testing and accountability.
If a product says it’s compostable or recyclable, we want proof.

2. We Evaluate Materials Carefully

We focus on renewable, compostable, and recyclable materials that actually perform in real-world use.

Our products are made from materials like:

We also take into account emissions during manufacturing and shipping and end-of-life outcomes when determining which packaging to offer.

3. We Test Products Ourselves

We don’t rely solely on spec sheets.

Our team tests products for:

Durability
Heat resistance
Leak resistance
Stackability
Real-world food service performance

If it doesn’t hold up in actual operations, we don’t carry it.

4. We Vet Our Manufacturing Partners

We ask our partners to sign a Supplier Code of Conduct aligned with B Corp standards and support U.S.-based manufacturing whenever possible.

This outlines expectations around:

Fair labor practices
Safe working conditions
Environmental responsibility
Ethical sourcing
Transparency

5. We Invest in Education

Sustainable packaging can be confusing—regulations, certifications, and claims are constantly evolving.

We support our clients by providing practical guidance so you can make confident, informed decisions for your business.
