On August 27, Restaurantware, a leading manufacturer and distributor of environmentally friendly and innovative foodservice supplies, announced the newest addition to its product portfolio: the Sustain Series. This new series provides fully compostable options for more than 40 common packaging products that typically cannot find compostable alternatives, such as window boxes and sandwich boxes.
Many products in the Sustain Series are made with bamboo paper and lined with PLA bioplastic to ensure full compostability. In addition to bamboo paper, the series also introduces products made from kraft paper and other plant-based bioplastics, providing a variety of environmentally friendly options for foodservice professionals seeking more sustainable options. The Sustain Series includes specialty items from hot and cold cups to takeout containers and noodle and burrito containers. These products are designed to meet the needs of today's environmentally friendly consumers while maintaining high quality and stylish appearance. "Our Sustain Collection embodies our commitment to purposeful innovation and sustainability," said Jamil Bouchareb, CEO of Restaurantware. "By introducing fully compostable alternatives in categories that previously relied on non-compostable materials, we are redefining what's possible in sustainable dining. We are proud to present it to our network, especially in the context of our recent recognition (awarded a 2024 Silver Stevie Award for Product Excellence in Sustainability and Climate Protection), while providing our customers with greater opportunities to make impactful choices that benefit both business and the planet. Our recognition as a leader in sustainable solutions underscores our important role in driving change in the industry and facilitating the shift to eco-friendly packaging."
With the launch of the Sustain Collection, Restaurantware has also expanded its sustainable product category offerings, with a 245% increase in Palm Leaf tableware, a 343% increase in Safe Pulp products, and a 98% increase in PLA tableware over the past two years. As consumer demand for eco-friendly practices and products continues to grow, Restaurantware is continuing its momentum with a five-year CAGR of 22%.

Restaurantware is focused on utilizing cutting-edge technologies and sustainable materials to continually redefine industry standards, with the goal of improving environmental sustainability and minimizing the ecological impact of foodservice.
