Eco-pliant's Transformation of Sustainable Packaging for the U.S. Foodservice Sector

New York, United States - August 28, 2023 / Eco-pliant Products Inc. /

Sustainable Food Packaging Industry Leaders

In 2017, when sustainable initiatives were budding in the packaging domain, Eco-pliant was merely an idea conceived in a cozy living room. The journey began with Andrew Hargest's vision for paper straws, influenced by the poignant imagery of a turtle harmed by plastic waste. From this spark, two friends quickly built a nationally recognized, digitally native packaging distributor boasting 18 diverse product categories.

The Eco-pliant Approach: Bridging E-commerce and Full-Service Distribution

Andrew Hargest, the dynamic CEO of Eco-pliant, perceives the brand as a hybrid distributor, blending e-commerce's convenience with full-service distribution's reliability. Spread across five warehouses in the U.S., they simplify the ordering process for compostable and recyclable food packaging, catering to diverse businesses. Any business needing food packaging is our potential partner, notes Hargest. Eco-pliant's clientele isn't limited to restaurants; they also serve catering services, hospitals, hotels, and grocery chains. Their premium packaging solutions prioritize the product's value. A lavish $30 entre deserves equally commendable packaging, Hargest asserts, emphasizing its crucial role, especially in an era where takeout and delivery have surged post-pandemic.

Educating Customers: Beyond Just Selling

For Eco-pliant, customer enlightenment on their packaging's environmental impact holds paramount importance. The team realized that compostable fiber-based packaging, while preferable to petroleum-based plastic, wasn't always the optimal solution. The lack of citywide compost programs can often lead these products to landfills. Consequently, Eco-pliant ventured into recyclable packaging, focusing on educating customers about the post-use phase. It's pivotal to instruct businesses on end-of-life disposal, shifting the recycling or composting responsibility not just to the eateries but also the consumers, Hargest highlighted.

Fostering Sustainable Packaging Innovations

Consistently exploring and advancing, Eco-pliant is actively researching new eco-friendly materials. Potato-starch-based foams and PFAS-free packaging reflect their commitment. At the core of Eco-pliant lies a love for nature and a mission to combat the plastic menace littering our landscapes. Witnessing plastics on beaches is distressing, but we're hopeful with the innovative solutions emerging globally. We aim to be pioneers in championing these changes, shares Hargest.

Client-Centric Approach: The Eco-pliant Way

In many sectors, the product takes center stage. However, for Eco-pliant, understanding and meeting specific client needs remain paramount, evident in every facet of their operations.
