VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 2, 2021 /CNW/ - good natured Products
Inc. (the "Company" or "good natured®") (TSXV:
GDNP), a North American leader in earth-friendly plant-based
products, has made its full assortment of versatile Microwavable To
Go Containers available for order online. Initial deliveries are
anticipated within the next 90 days to address a variety of
expected single-use plastic bans rolling out across Canada and the US.
Many of the bans address foodservice ware made from
"problematic plastic that is hard to recycle"[1]. Both
Canada and US Plastics Pacts
identify black take-out containers used frequently by restaurants
and grocers as problematic because the black colour is not
detectable by near infrared (NIR) at recycling plants. Both pacts
have listed bio-based, compostable options as a potential suitable
alternative to address this issue. [2]
An important consideration with all microwavable containers is
safety. In addition to providing a zero-waste end-of-life option
for problematic packaging, the Microwavable To Go Containers
from good natured® are made from 97% plant-based
materials and contain no chemicals of concern. This means there are
no potentially harmful substances, like BPAs, phthalates, and
phytoestrogens, that can leach into heated foods when using good
natured® packaging.
good natured® is offering one of the first
plant-based hot food packaging options on the market that combines
the zero-waste benefits of commercial composting with leak
resistance and affordable price points. This was made possible with
financial support in 2018 from the Government of Canada's Western Innovation Initiative (WINN)
currently known as Business Scale-up and Productivity (BSP).
Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured®
commented: "We're beyond grateful for the Government of
Canada's funding, which over the
years has enabled us to continue our investment in new technology
and deliver on our goal of becoming North
America's leading earth-friendly product company. We've
always been keenly focused on delivering real-world solutions,
which includes offering affordable plant-based packaging choices to
our customers. There are certainly other options out there, but
none of them combine the leak and heat resistance of our
Microwavable To Go Containers at an affordable price point. If
you're used to using the typical black take-out containers, you'll
find that ours perform just as well and also look great on the
shelf."
With recent supply chain and pricing pressure and inflationary
cost increases being actively discussed in the industry, the
Company is prioritizing making these new products available for
pre-order to ensure customers can reserve their orders in advance
at today's prices. The most popular 16, 24 and 32 oz formats in a
variety of trending 2021 colours are available with interchangeable
leak-resistant lids – a unique anti-fog crystal clear lid for
grocers to maximize product visualization and a translucent lid
suitable for microwave heating, which is particularly appealing for
restaurant and take-out applications.
