Many companies use plastic in their products, packaging and packing of their packaged products – which amounts to a lot of responsibility for the customer and end consumer! 27% of PET containers were recycled in 2008, which pales in comparison to the 2,500,000 plastic bottles that Americans use every hour.[1],[2] Environmental groups say one of the biggest problems with plastic bottles is that consumers do not recycle them. So, how responsible are the new plant-based and compostable packages?

Green Paper Products
This is a shout-out to a local company who provides 100% biodegradeable and compostable paper products. An associate from the company was nice enough to give us a call and make us aware they are in our area (they’re located on Mayfield Road). They sell everything from plates, cups and silverware to trash bags and food containers. Check out their website at www.greenpaperproducts.com for more information.
