Two Companies Team Up
At Urthpact, we’re proud to be teaming up with plastic product recyclables leader Preserve to introduce a new line of environmentally-friendly, single-use cutlery that’s being rolled out March 1 in over 400 locations of a major national grocery chain that we can’t name quite yet.
It all started when UrthPact CEO Paul Boudreau announced that we’d been selected by Preserve to work with them in developing a novel, new line of earth-friendly cutlery made entirely from recycled #5 plastic that can continue to be recycled again and again. Right now, the new cutlery line is slated to be used in the grocery chain’s in-store cafes, available in dispensers also manufactured by UrthPact.
One of the factors that makes this project so unique is that it’s designed to integrate with Preserve’s highly successful Gimme 5 program aimed at capturing as much used polypropylene as possible. The recycled plastic products are then remanufactured into new plastic products such as toothbrushes and razor handles.
