In August, 2010 when www.greenpackaginggroup.com was first launched, the plan was to aggressively seek and add new members who could bring unique products and capabilities to the site for the benefit of everyone searching for green packaging and eco-friendly answers.
Excellent Packaging & Supply, an industry-leading supplier of food service products that meet or exceed all of the group’s criteria, is a valuable new addition to the site.
“We are very pleased to be able to add Excellent Packaging & Supply as a member company because their products are high quality and truly green,” said Green Packaging Group founder Dennis Salazar. “In addition, we respect their commitment to sustainability and the leadership position they have demonstrated within their segment of the packaging industry. They complement our other members and products well.”
The B2B online directory and resource currently includes bags, baskets, containers, boxes, labels, filler, cushioning, paper and other types of eco friendly packaging wraps, as well as a wide assortment of paper products including gift wrap, stationery and envelopes.
Excellent Packaging & Supply’s products include a wide variety of compostable products including cups, plates, cutlery and take out containers. Their manufacturers include companies like Nature Works, maker of Ingeo™ biopolymer; Fabri-Kal®; Bridge Gate; VerTerra; International Paper, maker of Ecotainer®; and Wilkinson. Excellent Packaging’s president Allen King will also be a regular and featured contributor to the Green Packaging Group blog, which has received rave reviews from users and media for its cost reducing and green enhancing advice and content. “We are truly pleased to be a part of a group of companies whose commitment to sustainability is unwavering,” said Allen King. “This collaboration will offer businesses the widest array of green products found in one place and help move the nation towards a more sustainable economy.”
The group continues to welcome inquiries from sustainable packaging firms that are interested in becoming members and/or featuring their products on the site.
