With the prevalence of greenwashing these days, it’s refreshing to find a company whose products are just what they profess to be: 100 percent biodegradable and compostable. Core Sales Inc. is one such company, producing a full line of innovative, truly biodegradable products. They are proof that eco-integrity is not merely a dream when it comes to the motives of a company.
Many of their products are replacing the conventional plastic food containers commonly used for takeout-meals. They also provide cutlery, cups, plates and more. Imagine drinking your orange juice from a cup made from corn. Or eating your salad from a sugar cane container. Sound unbelievable? What’s equally impressive is that these products look no different from their plastic counterparts. No, they are not some weird brownish color, and they won’t leave your fingers sticky!
When we were introduced to them at the Green Living Show, we did a double take when informed of their components. The company is a testament to the solutions innovation and science can provide to the problems facing our planet. All of their products are made using PLA-Poly Lactide-extracted from renewable resources. Their cups and straws are produced from corn. Their plates and takeout containers are made from sugarcane fibers and their cutlery comes from potato. All of the above can simply be thrown into the green bin and will break down to produce CO2 and H2O, ranging in time from about 50 – 120 days.
An added draw to these super-eco items is the fact that they don’t contain the harmful toxins that plastics do. It’s a much safer choice healthwise, eating your food out of well, … food.
Core Sales Inc. introduced these products to Canada about five years ago and, thankfully for the eco-conscious individual, they have expanded to provide a full retail line to the public.
The benefits of such technology are clear. These products lessen the burden on landfills. They also reduce harmful air pollutants due to a cleaner production process compared to that of plastic.
If that’s not enough, you can enjoy the high level of functionality these products boast – clear, high gloss appearance, strong and durable performance, and a superior flavor and aromatic experience.
Give them a try, you’ll never go back to plastic again!

It is very important to understand the difference between biodegradable and compostable. Compostable still not 100% eco-friendly.
