At Key Compostables, we believe the food service sector is primed for a new era of sustainability. Thanks to the recent surge of Compost Collection and Processing companies over the past decade, most regions can now be sure that their restaurants and food-service operations can finally go full circle with their sustainability endeavors.
What do we mean by full circle? We want compostable products to be made back into compost. A cup or piece of cutlery made from plant materials such as corn should not just be tossed to the landfill. What a waste! Literally! We should have goals to get these products to facilities that can compost them back into a rich soil material - used to grow more delicious food for our cherished restaurants.
