Packaging Made Practical Landfill waste has risen to alarming levels. They re filled with an abundance of styrofoams and plastics that will not decompose in the course of even ten of our lifetimes. Now, it has become abundantly clear that the future of packaging is not in petroleum-based products, but rather with goods made out of easily biodegradable and compostable materials. BioGreenChoice products are made from all natural materials derived from corn and sugarcane. To the eye, they look like plastic products. To the touch, they have the same strength and versatility. But that s where all similarities end. When BioGreenChoice products are discarded, they return to the earth from which they originated. They re biodegradable. They re compostable. They re certified. They re gluten-free, and they come free of the dangerous carcinogens associated with plastics and styrenes. Today, you have a choice between using renewable or nonrenewable products. A choice between contributing to an ecological crisis or working toward its solution. Make your choice the green choice. BioGreenChoice. Natural Facts BioGreenChoice products are certified by Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) They meet ASTM standards for compostability Biodegradable and compostable Made entirely from renewable resources Strong and sturdy Gluten-free Soak-proof Composts in 3-6 months in a commercial composting system 2
Simple Products to Save the World This is the reality. The styrofoam cup that you discard today will be packed into a plastic garbage bag. The plastic garbage bag will be hauled to a landfill where it will join an ever expanding mountain of plastic and styrofoam, creating a field of toxic waste that will still be there in 1,000 years. And, every day with every styrofoam cup it grows larger. It s easy to throw our hands in the air when confronted with such an overwhelming problem. But it s just as easy to make simple changes to stem the tide. The harsh truth is that there will always be waste. So why not make that waste compostable and biodegradable? After just 3 to 6 months in a commercial composting facility, BioGreenChoice all-natural disposable products will disappear, leaving behind none of the chemicals and harmful pollutants of plastic and styrofoam. There is no quick fix for an ecological crisis of such monumental scale. But there is a responsible fix. Make the responsible decision now with BioGreenChoice. What About Recycling? According to the EPA, only 9% of disposable products are actually recycled. The other 91% end up in landfills where they can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. All BioGreenChoice products come from the earth and return to the earth. It s the zero-waste alternative to recycling. 3
