The material is engineered from a proprietary blend of bagasse, a fibrous byproduct of sugarcane processing and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified fibres.<\/p>\n

According to the company, this new board achieves premium performance standards without the use of virgin trees.<\/p>\n

The product contains no added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).<\/p>\n

Additionally, the board is intended for compostability, supporting more circular end-of-life pathways in packaging waste management.<\/p>\n

Emerald Ecovations said that the environmental footprint of the new board is lower compared to traditional alternatives.<\/p>\n

With final testing underway, Emerald expects the new material to qualify for its existing sustainability certifications.<\/p>\n

Emerald Ecovations CEO Ralph Bianculli said: \u201cConsumers aren\u2019t asking for change anymore \u2013 they\u2019re\u202fdemanding\u202fit. When shoppers have a choice between traditional packaging and responsible packaging, they overwhelmingly choose the sustainable option. The problem has always been access. Today, that barrier is gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs regulations tighten and consumers push for transparency, packaging is becoming a brand statement. This board gives CPG companies a clear, credible way to lead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Headquartered in New York, Emerald Ecovations produces more than 370 eco-friendly foodservice, janitorial, and consumer products for organisations across the US.<\/p>\n

The company markets its solutions as \u201ctree-free, plastic-free, and toxin-free,\u201d with many items designed for compostability in line with cradle-to-cradle principles.<\/p>\n

In addition, Emerald Ecovations offers educational services through the \u201cEmerald Sustainability Academy\u201d and provides \u201cEnvironmental Impact Reports\u201d to help organisations measure and communicate their sustainability progress.<\/p>\n
