Be Green Packaging Launches its Very Own Compost Tool Kit and Training Program

Nov 12, 2009 11:00 AM ET

Be Green Packaging has designed a stand alone Compost Tool Kit and training program for its end user customers such as nationwide grocery and restaurant chains. The Compost Tool Kit walks customers through three phases of establishing an in-house food scrap composting program. The Compost Tool Kit provides them with useful information such as how to talk with your local waste management company, equipment needed, and how to receive tax incentives by participating in city food scrap programs where applicable. The reader is also empowered with a step-by-step employee training process. 

Though Be Green Packaging is a design/manufacturing packaging firm, it is also a leader in environmental and CSR business practices.  Holding the coveted Cradle to Cradle certification is an honor for Be Green and makes closing the loop on their product’s life cycle a priority.  Proper disposal is key and by educating its customers, and affecting their customers (the consumer), Be Green increases the chances of their compostable products landing in a commercial or home compost bin. “We are committed to being a triple bottom line company and as such we are both students and educators, always pushing ourselves and the marketplace to do the right thing and balance the priorities of profit, nature, and people”, Vice President of Be Green Packaging, Megan Havrda.
