11.03.21

Company’s polylactic acid products are on par with or cost competitive to other alternatives, and are BPI certified commercially compostable.

Evanesce, a sustainable technology innovator, driven to accelerate the adoption of sustainable and economically viable packaging solutions, showcased its sustainable packaging technology at Supply Side West.
 
Founder and CEO Douglas Horne said “Our innovative packaging solutions are designed to replace single-use plastics and Styrofoam in packaging and will be a game-changer for food and beverage companies who are focused on delivering healthy, sustainable products.”
 
The company showcased its patented Evanesce Molded Starch technology along with its high-quality line of PLA (Polylactic Acid) compostable products, including straws, hot and cold cups and lids, plates, bowls, cutlery, gloves, and resealable bags.
 
Already in use by leading foodservice companies, restaurant chains and convenience stores, the company’s PLA products are on par with or cost competitive to other alternatives, offer significantly improved durability, and are BPI certified commercially compostable.
 
The patented Evanesce Molded Starch Technology produces 100% compostable molded packaging material at almost half the cost of other eco-friendly alternatives available in the market, the company said. Production of Molded Starch products including meal trays, meat trays, containers and cups are expected in 2022.
 
The company sets itself apart from the competition with American-made, quality products without overseas shipping delays and risks to the supply chain. The company’s first manufacturing facility, located in New Hampton, SC, is currently producing millions of compostable PLA straws per day. With distribution centers from coast to coast, Evanesce has expanded its U.S. operations with a new 114,000 sq ft facility in Las Vegas, NV.
