The Bahamas Better Earth Collection
Better Sustainability in The Bahamas
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
–Dr. Jane Goodall
As we find ourselves living on a planet facing unprecedented environmental challenges, from global climate change to plastic pollution and degraded soil, it is evident we need a new way of thinking.
At Better Earth, we believe in the power of regenerative circularity and aim to make sustainability accessible for everyone in the foodservice industry. We envision a world where natural resources are cycled infinitely, waste is eliminated, and nature and humanity thrive.
The Bahamas, blessed with beauty and vibrant tourism, is faced with the challenge of vast waste—primarily from non-recyclable petroleum plastic foodservice packaging. This catalog, tailored for The Bahamas, showcases our commitment to sustainability, experience, and innovation, offering products and services that address pressing environmental concerns while serving businesses seeking sustainability in the region.
Our compostable food service packaging is made from renewable, regenerative crops that naturally sequester carbon and enrich soil. Designed to disappear, our packaging breaks down into nutrientrich compost, revitalizing the land to help grow more nutrient-dense crops.
But our efforts go beyond crafting premium plantbased packaging. We are dedicated to fostering growth in sustainability through education, advocacy, and direct investments in local innovators and growing partnerships.
We invite you to explore our catalog and learn how Better Earth is helping people become more sustainable in their food service practices. Our team is here to support your sustainability journey. Together, we can make a lasting impact and contribute to a Better Earth, and help to keep the beaches and communities of The Bahamas clean and free of plastic waste.

Foodservice packaging is a big contributor to the municipal waste in The Bahamas each year. Divert this waste from landfills by ensuring your compostable packaging is labeled for responsible disposal. With proper disposal you can help return nutrients back into our depleted soils, improving the overall health of your communities.
