Pioneers in eco-friendly disposable cutlery
EcoTensil’s mission since its founding in 2010 has been offer compostable, high functioning, single-use utensils which are part of a circular life cycle. From day one our raison d'être has been to help our customers reduce the amount of single-use plastic impacting our planet and future generations.
Sustainably managed forests: The circular lifecycle of our GreenDot and AquaDot lines begins with well managed forests, where biodiversity is allowed to thrive, waterways are healthy, and CO2 is sequestered.
Our primary manufacturing facility has numerous certifications, is AA rated with BRC and is engaged in many levels of sustainability practices, from recycling over 70% of waste to energy efficiency and accountability measures.
Our AquaDot paperboard follows the PEFC chain of custody for sustainably managed forests and our GreenDot paperboard is harvested from FSC forests in the USA. Both lines are manufactured in the USA, reducing transportation CO2.
The best way to reduce our exploding human footprint on our one-and-only planet, is to simply reduce the amount of material we use. EcoTensils are extremely material efficient, literally using about 1/3-1/5 of the material and space of their plastic counterparts.
In food demos, EcoTasters are often used to “plate” samples, eliminating the sample cup.
