Our
goal at Leonard Paper is to provide our customers with a selection of environmentally
friendly or "Green" foodservice disposable products.
In order to help you better understand this constantly changing segment of
the disposable packaging business, we have developed this information so you
can make a better informed buying decision. By purchasing products that are
made from materials that are more ecologically responsible, you will contribute
to healthier world not only today but for future generations!
Some Background
As you may or may not know, we at Leonard have been heavily involved with Green cleaning for the last several years. Our comprehensive program for commercial building owners, property managers and building service contractors has lead us to be a leader in Green cleaning expertise within our marketplace. This knowledge and product expertise is now being used in the foodservice disposables segment of our business.
When someone says their product is Green what does that mean to you? Ask three different people and you will probably get three different definitions! When we use the term Green product we mean a product that has less impact on the environment in some way than a similar item. Any manufacturer can claim their product is Green but the proof is in the examination of the claims they make!
