Benefits of Switching to Cruz Foam
Reduced Waste
One of the key benefits of Cruz Foam is that it’s made from a waste product that would otherwise be discarded, reducing the amount of waste generated by the food system. The company aims to contribute to the circular economy, where Cruz Foam can be used for a second and third life before going to compost.
Environmental Sustainability
Compostable packaging materials are designed to break down naturally without causing harm to the environment. This can help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or oceans, and can also reduce the need for non-renewable resources.
Consumer Appeal
Many consumers are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of the products they buy, and are attracted to products that use eco-friendly packaging material.
Regulatory Compliance
Many countries and regions are introducing regulations to reduce the use of plastic packaging materials. In fact, California’s new Plastic Pollution and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act–the most ambitious packaging EPR program ever passed—makes the switch to compostable and recyclable packaging highly relevant.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Many compostable packaging materials are made from renewable sources, such as plants and food waste, which can help reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional packaging materials.
Versatility
Compostable packaging can be used for a wide range of applications, from food packaging to shipping materials, making it a versatile alternative to traditional packaging.
