Eco-Products, Inc.

Eco-Products, Inc started by making products from recycled materials. The disposable line started in 1993. It was in 2007 that they made products under their own name with a new technology, that allowed them to make Corn Plastic or PLA.

They began to produce the disposables in their new material to provide a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to petroleum based plastics. Soon they began making bioplastics with other materials such as wheat straw and sugarcane as well.

They have many firsts to their credit, such as the first hot cup that had 24% post-consumer recycled fiber; or the Ecolid25, the world’s first post-consumer recycled polystyrene hot cup lid.

They have two lines- the GreenStripe products made from renewables that are commercially compostable; and the BlueStripe products made with post-consumer recycled content. The products they make with their plastic materials are: hot cups, cold cups, paper food containers, food containers, clear containers, sugarcane containers, wheat straw containers, plates, bowls, utensils, lids, clam shells, kid specials, and others.

Besides supplying disposables, they provide services like custom prints, custom shapes, or communication support. For the really environmentally minded, they offer closed loop recycling and custom carbon foot printing.
