Sabert Corporation, a prominent global manufacturer of innovative and sustainable food packaging solutions, has announced a significant achievement in its long-standing commitment to sustainability. All products using the company's molded Pulp Plus™ and Pulp Ultra™ formulations, which are manufactured at the Greenville, Texas facility, have been awarded certification from the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) and meets ASTM standards for compostable products in North America. This third-party verification solidifies Sabert as a leading BPI certified domestic manufacturer of molded pulp foodservice packaging in the United States.
Composting plays a crucial role in achieving sustainability and promoting a circular economy. The BPI certification indicates that Sabert's molded pulp products from Greenville can be properly composted in industrial facilities and will disintegrate into a nutrient-rich soil amendment at the required rate. This provides brands, food companies, foodservice operators and consumers assurance that the packaging is certified compostable and can be diverted from landfills through commercial composting channels.
"Earning BPI certification for our state-of-the-art Texas facility is a major accomplishment that reinforces Sabert's commitment to advancing packaging sustainability through proprietary innovation," said Paul McCann, CEO of Sabert. "This prestigious certification is extremely important to our customers who want environmentally responsible food packaging solutions. At Sabert, we believe in supporting third-party certifications to help move the food packaging industry towards more sustainable practices."
The 350,000 square foot Greenville facility, which officially opened in 2022, utilizes Sabert's proprietary pulp formulation chemistry and processing techniques to manufacture a broad range of molded fiber packaging items that are 100% free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
"Through continuous innovation and our relentless focus on eliminating PFAS from pulp manufacturing, we have solidified our position as a leading supplier of certified compostable molded fiber packaging in North America," added McCann. "One of our key strengths in the pulp market is that because we work with multiple substrates, we can design and manufacture our own lids, ensuring superior lid fit and design."
In addition to manufacturing BPI-certified molded fiber packaging solutions, Sabert's Texas plant features extensive lab and engineering capabilities to conduct developmental research in material science and production technologies to continue to push innovation forward.
