Eco-Products designed new compostable due to increase in consumer demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
Developed by using a plant-based plastic, the new compostable lids facilitates easy sipping from a cup without spilling.
Eco-Products is already distributing compostable lids in the arenas of US and Canada, enabling fans not spill their beverages when they cheer their favorite teams.
Eco-Products marketing director Sarah Martinez said: “We tried out the lids first with Canadian hockey fans. They loved not spilling their beers, so we knew we had a winner.”
Eco-Products’ cold cup sip lids enable consumers to easily drink from a cup with the lid on. The lids, which are designed to avoid spills and splashback, are available in different sizes to be used for a variety of cups.
According to Eco-Products, the lids are made from 100% renewable resources, BPI certified and meet ASTM International standards for compostability.
Martinez further said: “If a customer doesn’t want to use a straw, restaurants, stadiums and arenas want to give them an option that doesn’t include spilling their drink,”
“We want to create products that are great for customers and deliver real environmental benefits,” Martinez added. “Our compostable lids do just that.”
