International Paper - is committed to social and environmental responsibility. We continually seek ways to improve our environmental impact while creating better solutions for our customers.
To align our products with our principles, we partner with companies who share our values. Our goal is to create packaging made from fully renewable resources that leave a smaller environmental footprint. The first step is ecotainer™ - our product line of BPI certified compostable packaging designed for beverages and take-out food. The product line includes paper hot cups, paper cold cups, food containers, and Cup Buddy®. Unlike traditional packaging, ecotainer™ uses a plastic lining made from plants. All products are compostable under commercial composting conditions.This is the first of what we hope will be many steps toward a more sustainable future.
Since launching ecotainer™ hot cups with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters in July 2006, the product line has grown to include cup buddy®, food containers and cold cups. Globally, more than 60 distributors and 80 brand owners have chosen to make a difference by switching to these products. Through their efforts, more than 650 million ecotainer cups and containers have replaced other single use packaging made of foam, plastic and the standard polyethlene coated paper products.
