BlueStripe™
Made from post-consumer recycled content.
Impact
All BlueStripe products are made from “Post-Consumer” recycled materials. This is a critical distinction, as many products claiming to be made from “recycled” materials are made from “pre-consumer” or “post-industrial” materials that do not support recycling markets by driving end-market demand.
The other critical distinction to make is that NONE of these products are compostable, and they should never be put in compost bins. Other features include:
Performance
- Made from post-consumer materials that have been used, recycled, and repurposed, meaning fewer virgin resources are required and less landfill waste is created
- Making new products from post-consumer recycled materials helps drive recycling markets and infrastructure
- Products always incorporate the highest amount of post-consumer recycled material possible without compromising performance
- Same performance as conventional items made from virgin materials
- Like almost all foodservice packaging, BlueStripe items are not recyclable in a majority of communities
- NOT compostable
