Forging a Sustainable Future

“Since nature has the most sustainable ecosystem and since ultimately agriculture comes out of nature, our standard for a sustainable world should be nature’s own ecosystem.”
– Wes Jackson Author & Co-Founder of the Land Institute

In the face of unprecedented environmental challenges, it’s clear that a new approach is needed. At Better Earth, we remain steadfast in our commitment to pioneering regenerative circularity and making sustainability accessible to all within the foodservice industry. Our mission is to foster a world where natural resources are endlessly cycled, waste is eradicated, and both nature and humanity thrive.

While the challenges we face - climate change, plastic pollution, and soil degradation – remain daunting, we’re focusing on solutions that are local, collaborative, and transparent.

Our commitment to regenerative circularity goes beyond our products. We are a central hub in a network of partners, working openly to create a closed-loop system. Our manufacturing processes

exemplify our dedication to minimizing waste and recovering compostable material that can nourish the fields where our raw materials grow.

Our Farmer’s Fiber ™ Collection exemplifies this approach. Grown and manufactured by US small farmers, this program reduces our carbon footprint and strengthens these farmers through investment and education.

“ We’re not just creating sustainable packaging; we’re building a sustainable future.”

This future depends on collaboration. Collaborations with entities like the University of Tennessee and Genera underscore our commitment to transparency and innovation. By working closely with farmers, manufacturers, and academic institutions, we advance regenerative practices and create tangible benefits for all involved.

Innovation is also key. Consumer demand for sustainable packaging is driving the development of sophisticated plant-based products that rival traditional plastics in performance. The evolution of our technology and product offerings mirrors the shifting landscape of consumer preferences and industry standards. We continuously strive to align our innovations with emerging needs and trends. By placing ourselves at the nexus of technological advancements

and market demands, we remain poised to drive meaningful change and shape the future of sustainable packaging.

This focus on local partnerships extends to our advocacy efforts. Legislation is crucial to the success of compostable packaging. We’re working to educate legislators and consumers alike about the benefits of regenerative circularity and the need for improved composting infrastructure.

Our ultimate goal is true circularity: collecting every piece of packaging we produce. This vision extends beyond food service, encompassing various sectors reliant on single-use plastics.

Finally, we recognize that sustainable agriculture is essential for our planet’s survival. Studies warn of only 60 growing seasons remaining in North America due to unsustainable practices. Better Earth is committed to reversing this trend and ensuring a healthy future for generations to come.

Join us on this journey towards a Better Earth. Explore our catalog to see how our innovative products can help you be more sustainable, and let’s work together to create a Better Earth where nature and humanity thrive.

Fiber Collection

Better Earth offers the most extensive collection of molded fiber substrates for foodservice packaging on the market. The collections are tree-free, certified commercially compostable, and made from renewable raw materials like sugarcane, bamboo, and perennial grasses.

All Better Earth fiber products are freezer and microwavesafe and grease resistant.

Our flagship fiber product, Farmer’s Fiber, is a key item in our Climate Smart ™ Packaging Program. This program represents a comprehensive strategy aimed at mitigating the carbon footprint throughout the packaging lifecycle including a review of sourcing, production, utilization, and disposal.

Our methodology includes conducting a lifecycle assessment of each collection, developing a carbon reduction plan, and implementing carbon offsets. The launch of this program with Farmer’s Fiber marks a milestone in achieving reduced emissions and a strive for carbon negativity status.

The Farmer’s Fiber Collection has a naturally low carbon profile due to:

• Expanding utilization of clean, renewable energy

• Rapidly renewable raw materials that store carbon and cycle nutrients into the soil

• Efficient, vertically integrated manufacturing process and distribution reducing overall carbon footprint

Rapidly Renewable Substrates available through Better Earth include:

• Southeastern Ag Fibers

• Sugarcane Bagasse

• Bamboo

Paper Collection

Our paper product line is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified and derived from responsibly managed forests. The collection consists of FSC White and Bamboo Kraft Paperboard options.

FSC White Paperboard is made of raw materials that meet FSC’s forest management standards which prohibit the use of highly hazardous chemicals in order to help preserve natural forest cover. When molded into product form, this material can withstand boiling water, and is designed with an exceptionally strong double sealed seam for easy closure.

Bamboo Kraft Paperboard is made from plant-based and tree-free bamboo. Our bamboo paperboard products are typically lined with PLA to ensure premium performance. Both product lines are great for hot and cold food applications. The PLA lining and double-sealed seams give our Food Container and Hot Cup Collections maximum performance.

All products in the Better Earth Paper Collections are customizable. Our paperboard Hot Cups, Food Containers, and lids can be custom printed with your logo or brand artwork. Our Better Box Collection can be customized on all sides around the transparent PLA window.

As the only company in the United States to custom print on molded fiber packaging domestically, we can elevate your customers’ food experience and take your brand story to the next level. Educate consumers and celebrate your brand with food-safe and customizable products.

Equator Coffees & Better Earth: Brewing Up Sustainability

They believe coffee can be roasted better, brewed better and, most importantly, sourced in a way that makes lives better.

Better Earth and Equator Coffees agree that drinking good coffee leads to good things. Women and LGBTQ+ founded, Equator Coffees was the first B Corp-certified coffee roaster in California and a leader in sustainable coffee practices.

Equator Coffees was named after the region where coffee grows, but has come to mean so much more than that. Sustainability is baked into everything they do, and they are committed, knowing there is no finish line to that work. Their B Corp-certified status requires an ongoing demonstration of transparency and accountability throughout their operations

on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. Through deep relationships with their suppliers Equator Coffees has been sourcing the very best in specialty coffees since 1995.

Equator Coffees roasted the first harvest of Regenerative Organic Certified ® (ROC ®) coffee ever available, produced by their partners in Nicaragua, Cooperativa de Servicios Múltiples Sacaclí. This certification represents a more rigorous standard for organic agriculture, and a deeper commitment to soil health, animal welfare, and fairness for farmers and workers.

Equator Coffees is also committed to purchasing the most sustainable coffee packaging on the market. Better Earth is proud to be their partner, supporting their sustainability goals with custom-printed 100% commercial compostable hot and cold cups. It is a joy to enjoy a good cup of sustainably sourced coffee, and even more enjoyable when it is beneficial to people and the planet.

Bio-Resin Collection

Better Earth’s Bio-Resin Collection is BPI certified and meets ASTM D6868 standards. It is made with PLA, a versatile, plant-based, and compostable bioresin derived from corn. Some of the products in the collection use Crystallized PLA (CPLA), a material made from sugar beets that is translucent and has a higher heat tolerance than PLA, making it perfect for hot cup lids, soup cup lids, cutlery, and more.

Recent research continues to affirm that certified bioresin packaging breaks down swiftly and efficiently in commercial composting environments, and can help enable clean collection. For example, a recent study from the Foodservice Packaging Institute showed that compostables help divert more food waste from landfills to compost piles.

The study also showed that when procurement teams commit to switching to a 100% certified compostable packaging portfolio on site, they dramatically reduce contamination in the compost bin.

Commercially compostable packaging is designed to break down in commercial composting piles in 90-180 days. However, depending on the product, it can be faster.

Most BPI certified compostable packaging products are proven to break down in these facilities in 49 days.

Each of these studies concludes that compostable packaging is critical for diverting food waste, reducing contamination in compost piles, and cycling nutrients back into our soil.

Our packaging serves as a means to redirect food waste away from landfills and towards composting systems, facilitating its transformation into nutrient-rich soil amendments.

Third-party certifications – such as those from the Biodegradable Products Institute and the Compost Manufacturing Alliance – play a crucial role in distinguishing compostable products from unsustainable alternatives.

AS TM D6400 AS TM D6868

BPI certified products undergo rigorous, third-party testing to verify that their products meet ASTM D6400 and/or ASTM D6868 standards. All BPI certified products are PFAS free. You can always find the latest list of Better Earth BPI product certifications by visiting https://products.bpiworld.org/ companies/better-earth.

The Forest Stewardship Council is a not-for-profit organization that sets sustainable forestry standards to help preserve our forests for generations to come. When you see the FSC label on Better Earth products, you can be assured that the forest products sourced are responsibly harvested and from verified sources.

Like BPI, Vinçotte OK Compostcertified products undergo rigorous, third-party testing to verify that the products are compostable in commercial or municipal facilities in compliance with the European Standard EN 13432.

Regenerative Agriculture

At

its core, regenerative agriculture refers to farming practices

that aim to restore and enhance the health

of the soil.

Better Earth believes there are endless benefits when a farmer chooses regenerative methods over conventional ones. We work with farmers to source native, perennial grasses and rapidly renewable crops used in our products. Our products come from the soil and ultimately return back to it, and therefore we recognize our responsibility to be soil stewards through and through.

No-till Farming: A planting technique that leaves the soil intact rather than plowing which disturbs soil structure, depletes essential nutrients, and releases carbon.

Composting: The breakdown of organic material, such as food scraps and yard waste, that produces a nutrient rich soil amendment. Compost acts as a natural fertilizer and pesticide leading to healthier plants, more nutritious food, and less chemical inputs. Organic matter helps strengthen soil structure, improving water retention and reducing erosion.

Cover Cropping: Planting cover crops, such as clover or rye, in between cash crops. These plants are grown to protect and enrich the soil, not for harvest. They prevent erosion, improve soil health, and can suppress weeds.

Crop Rotation: Growing different crops in succession helps reduce disease and pest issues. Each plant type draws and deposits different nutrients, keeping the soil diversified and balanced.

Rotational Grazing: Moving livestock through field paddocks in planned patterns. Manure, scratching, and hooves compacting the earth helps to improve the health of the soil and provides a more natural diet for the animals.

Integrated Pest

Management: Using crop rotation, biodiversity, native plant species, and biological controls to manage pests. Reducing the need for petroleum-based pesticides.

Commercial Composting Facility

These facilities provide the ideal conditions – high heat, air flow, moisture content, and nutrient balance – for composting a wide variety of products quickly and efficiently. Some cities have composting available through their municipality while other areas offer commercial composting subscription plans.

Regenerative Agriculture

This refers to farming and grazing practices that restore soil biodiversity and reverse climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide in replenished soil.

Commercially Compostable

This means that a product can break down into carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds and biomass in about 90 – 180 days or less with the support of aerobic microorganisms. This process leaves no toxicity in the soil (for more information, refer to “composting”). Compostable products can include food scraps, paper, and leaves, as well as certified-compostable foodservice packaging materials like the items made by Better Earth. The speed of degradability will vary based on the composition of the product.

Circular Economy

According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, it is an economic system where nothing is wasted. When composted, Better Earth compostable products are a strong example of the circular economy in action, as our raw materials are sourced from reimagined agricultural byproducts (like bagasse). Better Earth “closes the nutrient loop” through composting, leaving no waste behind.
