NEW PLANT-BASED MICROWAVABLE FOOD CONTAINERS ADDRESS SINGLE-USE PLASTIC CRISIS

SCOOP heard about the launch of good natured®’s GoodToGo™ Microwavable collection, one of the first-of-its-kind to change environmental standards for restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, and to-go food producers. The collection combines 7 years of biotech innovation with a design made specifically to address clarity, heat, sustainability, and human health, proving that it’s possible to replace single-use plastic with an eco-alternative.

Poised to help combat over 9 million tons of disposable foodware and packaging used by the restaurant industry each year, the new collection consists of 16 oz and 24 oz sized containers in Stone, Mist, and Dusk colors, available for purchase online in the US & Canada here and on continued on page 100

Coming off the heels of the White House’s National Biostrategy announcement, which established a bold new goal to replace 90% of today’s petrochemical plastics with those that are biobased, GoodToGo™ was created for businesses and consumers looking for to-go packaging that addresses both environmental and health concerns. The product is free of chemicals of concern like BPAs and phthalates, leak-resistant, and super stackable making them ideal for transport. They’re also made from renewable materials that can be commercially composted at the end of their useful life, along with any residual food materials left inside, which is a common challenge for other types of food packaging that claim to be recyclable.
