Edenware is a new brand of renewable and compostable food packaging lined with a plant-based Polylactic Acid (PLA).Conventional packaging materials are plastic lined deriving from the finite resource of oil.Edenware cups have a much lower carbon-footprint stemming from their plant beginnings.Disposal in a food composting waste stream diverts food and packaging waste from landfill avoiding ozone depleting methane emissions. Packaging contaminated with food cannot be recycled so compostable packaging offers a great alternative.
