Better Earth introduces rectangular fiber containers

Better Earth, an Atlanta-based foodservice packaging developer, has introduced rectangular fiber containers to its product portfolio.

The company says the containers offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic options, addressing the pressing issue of plastic waste. It adds that by providing compostable solutions that are both convenient and hygienic for food service customers, the company is actively promoting responsible consumption and production while advocating for a circular economy.

In an effort to eliminate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from its product lines, Better Earth launched the PFAS-free Clarion Collection in 2021, and said it achieved a 113 percent growth in PFAS-free offerings in 2022. The company says it is on track to achieve its goal of offering exclusively 100 percent PFAS-free products by the end of 2023.

Key attributes of the rectangular fiber containers include:

• four container sizes and the ability to transport hot and cold food;
• the ability to withstand rigorous transport, ensuring flawless delivery to customers;
• a design that is oil and water resistant, as well as leak and spill proof;
• a fully compostable design that complies with ASTM standards;
• a minimized environmental impact in which the packaging breaks down into nutrient-rich soil in commercial compost facilities; and
• available custom four-color printing.

Better Earth says its new rectangular fiber containers and a host of its other products will be available to view at The National Association of College & University Food Services (NACUFS) National Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, from July 19-22.
