Episode 05
Ken Fraser, Southeast Divisional Sales Manager with Eco-Products joins John and Nick D. at the table. Ken shares a 2022 update and what's new in the industry with compostable packaging and how is Eco-Products handling the crazy demand for sustainable, disposable products. He also shares how Eco-Products separates itself as a leader in the “green” space and from its competition.
He breaks down what PFA's are and what the operator needs to know about their affect on their operation. Ken further explains the all important difference between biodegradable vs. compostable and the increased accessibility to composting facilities today in the marketplace. Ken also shares what the Eco-Products current “Core Bundle” is and what it's comprised of for your packaging needs.
Ken discusses how Eco-Products are now back offering logo PLA cup sizes, lead times, and what are the minimum ordering specs for them. He then shares some advice on how to get started with Eco-Products, how to request samples, and encourages the operator to thoroughly test their product to see how it performs and why Eco-Products could be the right choice for you!
So if you thought of going green, and if it's the right option for you, then pull up a chair, 'cuz it's all here, on the table!
