Eco-Products Introduces Compostable, Sugarcane-Based Produce Trays

Eco-Products, a Novolex brand, is introducing new meat and produce trays made from sugarcane, making them the ideal choice for grocery stores and food processors seeking compostable options.

The grease- and cut-resistant trays are designed for any food item that needs to be packaged for the refrigerator or freezer. All are made from sugarcane, a rapidly renewable resource.

“These compostable trays are ideal for supermarkets and food processors seeking environmentally preferable packaging,” said Sarah Martinez, Senior Director of Marketing for Eco-Products. “We’re excited to offer them because the demand for sustainable options continues to grow.”

The trays, which are freezer safe and microwave friendly, come in a variety of sizes. Soak-proof versions are lined with PLA, a plant-based plastic. All of the trays are strong and durable and meet ASTM guidelines for compostability. 

Eco-Products offers a host of innovative products — including bowls, cups, lids, plates, containers and utensils — made from renewable and recycled resources.
