Australian owned and operated global packaging company, Detmold Group, takes the environmental concerns of its clients, hospitality businesses, very seriously.
So it has not been resting on the laurels of its existing environmental range. It has made it even more sustainable. The new range, I am eco, launched at Fine Food Australia in Melbourne this week.
It is biodegradable and compostable because it is made from bagasse sugarcane board. Not only is I am eco made from 100% recycled content, but it is converted into solid board sheets for effective printing and the sheeting can be transported more efficiently, which saves energy and carbon emissions.
Detmold group marketing manager, Shane Fuller stated, “In an Australian first, this new range includes use of a unique bagasse sugarcane board material formed into food pails by our manufacturing plant. Popular quick service restaurant Nando’s is already using the new material for several of their menu items with great success.
“The introduction of I am eco now means Detpak, Detmold group’s specialist division for the food service industry, offers a large range of environmental packaging that is biodegradable and compostable.
“All 52 items in the I am eco collection are made exclusively from plants, a renewable resource. These include sugarcane, corn and trees. Put simply, the I am eco range is ‘made from nature’. Items such as the Detpak’s original ripple wrap cup are now available in the I am eco™ range and we have introduced a suite of new products including smooth double wall hot cups, plates, bowls, lunch boxes and pails that are available in numerous sizes.
“Customers can now attain a wide range of eco products from Detpak as well as secure traditional products, making Detpak a one stop shop for all packaging needs. Our reputation for quality is what sets us apart as well as our expertise in custom printing on many products in the range.
“The I am eco range will appeal to cafes, coffee roasters, caterers and festival events. All the hard work is done. No need to think about what will happen with the packaging after use as we’ve taken care to make the new range fully biodegradable.”
