The properties, says Ecovative
co-founder Eben Bayer, are simi-
lar to expanded polystyrene. The
result is a product that's made from
waste, is compostable and recycla-
ble — and even gives back to the
soil. "All the materials we make for
our packaging are home composta-
ble. Lots of this packaging waste
doesn't end in recycling and trash,
it doesn't end up in parks and the
ocean," he says. "But if it does, it
gives nutrients to the environment,
not pollutants. It works with nature
if it ends up there."
Tom Kandris, CEO of PackageOne
in Sacramento, Calif., says that
more wine customers are looking
for eco-friendly packaging. "A lot of
wine customers are earth-friendly,"
he says. "Some are locked into tra-
ditional approaches just because
they don't know what's out there."
The company developed a corru-
gated shipping box made with recy-
cled cardboard that, in some cases,
Ecovative's single lay-down wine shipper, made from waste, is compostable and recyclable.
