Be Green Packaging was the first food packaging company in the United States to achieve Cradle to Cradle Silver certification for their commitment to prosperity through sustainability.
A Cradle to Cradle process transforms traditional "take, make and waste" manufacturing systems into creators of goods and services that generate ecological, social and economic value. The process transcends traditional and irresponsible business practices where raw materials are extracted from the earth and ultimately discarded in landfills. Be Green has transformed this cradle to grave mentality into a closed-loop packaging philosophy.
In order to abide by this philosophy we use sustainable raw resources such as bulrush, bagasse, bamboo, wheatstalk and kenaf. We also follow a set of environmentally responsible criteria:
- Our raw materials are only derived from annually renewable resources.
- Our products are compostable* within 90 days.
- No trees are felled or used in our raw materials.
- Our products are chlorine and bleach free.
- We operate under strict Codes of Conduct and Social Responsibility Agreements.
- When additives are used to provide moisture and grease resistance, we ensure these additives are food-grade, meet FDA standards, and have minimal negative environmental impacts.
