ATLANTA, Ga. — Better Earth, a company specializing in compostable foodservice packaging solutions, announced an expansion of its Farmer’s Fiber Collection molded packaging collection to include compostable clamshells with various sizes and compartment options as well as plates and bowls. The line also has been reformulated to increase sustainability and company support for American farmers with new materials grown using regenerative agricultural practices.
Better Earth's Farmer’s Fiber Collection is now crafted from a blend of high-yield feedstock crops such as miscanthus, switchgrass and sorghum grown by U.S. farmers. Locally made in Tennessee, the products offer durability, leak resistance and compatibility with both hot and cold foods but also demonstrate moisture, oil, and grease resistance while being PFAS-free, the company reports.
The collection also embodies the principles of a circular economy, breaking down into valuable biomass within weeks in commercial composting facilities, thereby reducing landfill waste and harmful emissions, said Better Earth.
In addition, Better Earth expanded its core team for the second time in two months in response to ongoing business growth.
New hires include Marc Sallaz, director of sales for chain accounts – West Coast; David Lay-Herrera, territory sales manager – Florida; Geoffrey McCullough, territory sales manager – Georgia and Alabama; and Patrick Cunningham, director of sales for Pacific Northwest and Canada.
