BIODEGRADABLE SOLUTIONS

Paper straws vs. plastic straws

JB Products Corp - Wholesale Printing & DESIGN

JB Products Corp feels it is important to find sustainable solutions for disposables

by shifting the industry in a better direction; Which is why we back companies such as EcoProducts ® who work towards  "pushing the boundaries of what is possible in disposables."

Why it Matters

For the greater disposable good. Making "earth friendly" disposable products means that these products must be made with the fewest natural resources as possible.

"Disposables" Explained

"Most traditional plastic food service products are made with foam, polystyrene, or polyethylene — plastics which are made with petroleum, or oil." There is no such thing as a completely sustainable disposable cup, but there are ways to make the least impact on the planet.

Moving Forward

 "Sustainable disposables" in itself sounds "like an oxymoron, but we live in a consumer culture where disposable products are ubiquitous. And they are not going away anytime soon." Moving forward, we have an incredible opportunity for all of us to help make a difference by switching to more sustainable disposable products.

We offer various "Biodegradable" and "Recyclable" disposables in our wholesale and retail division. Please call or email us today, to find out how you can be part of shifting the industry in a better direction!

"Why the Plastic Straw?

Plastic straws are consistently among the top 10 items found during beach cleanups around the world(4*) and nearly all plastic straws are NOT recyclable." https://www.strawlessocean.org/

"Understand Compostability

Compostable plastic straws are NOT a universally suggested alternative to plastic. Why? Because if a compostable plastic straw ends up in the water, it will act the same way as a regular plastic straw(5*). Compostable plastics need to undergo the industrial composting process to ensure that they are not harmful when they reach the water. Many cities don’t have industrial composting and even in those cities that do, it requires individuals todispose of compostable plastic straws properly" https://www.strawlessocean.org/
