Eco Friendly Packaging & Catering Disposables | Vegware Summary Vegware was started in 2006 in order to bring to market an innovative and environmentally sustainable range of disposable cutlery and tableware.Currently, huge volumes of paper, plastic and styrofoam cutlery, tableware and food packaging are used and disposed of each year. To give an idea of the scale, an estimated 39 billion items of disposable cutlery are used in the US each year (source: The Food Packaging Institute, Washington, D.C.) and 2 billion items of disposable cutlery were used in the UK in 1990 (source www.wasteonline.org.uk).
Technological developments in the area of bioplastics and fibre processing mean that a new range of alternatives based on safe, annually renewable raw materials, which achieve rapid biodegradation are available.
Vegware has the dual goal of aiding the food service industry to reduce the use of non-renewable resources, and enabling a shift in the way waste is managed.
A significant proportion of the waste we generate is suitable for commercial composting, though the economics of sorting waste-streams means that it is disposed of as landfill instead. A switch to compostable foodware and packaging would remove the economic barrier to composting, as food waste, packaging, and tableware could simply be processed together.
