Green Products SUSTAINABLY-FOCUSED PRODUCTS Dennis Paper & Food Service is committed to sourcing and offering the best possible eco-friendly product options. Finding the right fit for your operation starts with understanding the variety of different product options available. Considering greener products for the first time? it’s helpful to be aware of how these products can be mindfully disposed of to reduce your operation’s, and your customer’s, impact on the planet. Are you looking for packaging that can be reused again and again? Products that can be recycled after they’re used? Or, single-use disposable product that are compostable? Here’s a breakdown of the most common eco-friendly, sustainable materials. PET: PET is an FDA approved, sturdy, leak resistant, and recyclable material, ideal for cold foods. CPET: This is a crystallized form of PET, which allows the material to be freezer and oven-friendly. PCR PET: Post consumer recycled PET, helping to further reduce waste. PLA: Made from corn starch, looks and feels like traditional petroleum-based plastic, but products made from PLA are biodegradable and compostable. Polypropylene: Recyclable, mineral filled material designed to reduce the container weight and cost. Molded Fiber Pulp: Products are made of biodegradable plant fiber pulp. This material is often a sugar cane manufacturing byproduct known as Bagasse, a renewable material that is certified BPI compostable.

  • Compostable Products for Food Services
    Compostable Products for Food Services Making Sense of What’s Available ECO-CYCLE February 2013 Price points Many of the compostable products made from corn, etc. have been price competitive with their paper counterparts for several years. In larger quantities (such as amounts that school districts order), though, this is not always the case and may be a bit more unpredictable. On any price comparisons to Styrofoam® (polystyrene) clamshells and cutlery, however, compostables are not price competitive. When oil prices were rising in 2005, plastic products were becoming more expensive. As compostables became “mainstream” that helped to make some compostables price-competitive with traditional disposables. Six years later, as oil prices are rising again, this helps pricing when compared to oil- based plastics. However, this may be offset because corn is also selling at higher prices, so that will affect compostables prices as well. Many factors will affect these products’ prices: distribution, quantity ordered, etc. Products available A wide variety of products are now available for foodservice and on-the-go situations. Almost every type of disposable product has a compostable alternative. Items available include: o Cups: hot cups, cold cups, lids Drink related: straws, sleeves for hot cups, cup carriers o Bowls: various sized serving bowls, bowls with lids for transport of to-go soup, etc. o Plates: various sized plates, compartmental plates o Trays: various sized trays, compartmental trays Cycle - o Bags: various sizes used for compost

  • Disposable Coffee Cup Waste Reduction Study
    Disposable Coffee Cup Waste Reduction Study Hanna Ziada December 15, 2009 Abstract One million paper coffee cups are sent to a landfill from Toronto each day (Entec, 2009). This amount of waste from a single-use disposable item is not sustainable. This study reviews the recyclability of the industry standard polyethylene lined paper coffee cup by studying various Solid Waste Management Systems in Ontario, including jurisdictions where coffee cups are accepted in blue bin and green bin organics collection systems. In both these cases coffee cups are treated as contaminants of the collection stream and are discarded during the recycling process. Biodegradable cups, styrofoam cups and reusable mugs are evaluated, using life cycle assessment methods, to determine alternatives to current industry standard disposable cup. The target population of the proposed waste reduction strategy is frequent coffee buyers, understood to mean those who buy their coffee in disposable cups as part of their routine. This target population was identified through the use of IPSOS Reid survey data collected in 2008 for 700 representative residents from Toronto. The recommended policy option and accompanying implementation considerations were developed in conjunction with a series of eleven interviews conducted in October of 2009 with independent coffee shop owners in Toronto. The policy consists of three behaviour change tools; a prompt, a sign and an available alternative. These tools are described as policy recommendations. Hanna Ziada Page 2 of 2 Introduction The City of Toronto estimates that more than one million single-use coffee cups are disposed of per day in the City. These single-use coffee cups are not recyclable and are being sent to landfill (Entec Consulting, 2009).

  • Plastic Free Challenge
    Plastic Free Challenge Plastic is a part of our everyday lives. We use it almost constantly. Plastic makes our lives more convenient, is durable and long lasting. However, we have become dependent on plastic and we are creating a lot of waste. One of the biggest problems with plastic is how we dispose of it. Did you know that since the 1950s 8.3 billion tons of plastic has been generated around the world and only 23 per cent of those plastics have been recovered or recycled. In fact 8 million metric tons of this plastic waste enters our oceans each year. Single use plastics compound this problem; they are made to be used once and then tossed aside. Canadians use 2 billion plastic straws and 1 billion plastic bags each and every year. Many of these items are not recycled or reused so we just keep on making more. Many Canadians are now trying to use less plastic and reduce their impact on the environment. This challenge was developed to introduce the idea of using less single use plastic and why single use plastics are harmful to our environment. To earn this Plastic Free Challenge everyone must do the opening and closing activity for their branch as well as complete two activities from each theme (At Home, In Your Community and Out in Nature) for a total of 8 activities. Once completed send in the completed badge order form with the number of badges required and which activities you did.

Biodegradable Trash Bags – The Biobags of the Future March 21, 2009 9 Comments Our weekly visit to the grocery store often includes a visit to the cleaning products aisle to check out the latest green products, one aspect which is still woefully lacking is the availability of biodegradable trash bags. We have searched far and wide but nowhere appears to stock them yet. image by Cezary Okupski The reason may be that no large corporations are producing biodegradable plastic bags, we did manage to find small biodegradable dog waste bags, but we really wanted a solution for our kitchen and other household waste. A quick internet search uncovered several smaller companies emerging as producers and retailers of the much sought after “biobags”. This is our round up of the most interesting out there; 1/ Lets Start by Defining “Bio-Degradable” The terms biodegradation, biodegradable materials and compostability are very common but frequently www.oureverydayearth.com/biodegradable-trash-bags-the-biobags-of-the-future/ 1/10 6/5/13 Biodegradable Trash Bags – The Biobags of the Future | Our Everyday Earth - Green Blog misunderstood. Hopefully we can clear that up by defining the characteristics that a material must have in order to be defined as “biodegradable” or “compostable”. A recent European standard stated that a compostable material must have the following characteristics: Biodegradability is determined by measuring how fast something degrades or metabolizes into carbon dioxide.
