EcoQuality Environmental Sustainability Policy

At EcoQuality, we prioritize the recyclability and reusability of disposable products as part of our commitment to environmental sustainability. We firmly believe that every individual has a role to play in reducing plastic waste and its impact on the environment.

Sustainability

Through our comprehensive recycling and reusability initiatives, we actively encourage everyone to recycle and reuse. We provide easily accessible recycling facilities and educate our employees, customers, and stakeholders on proper disposal methods. Although sustainable disposables may seem contradictory, the reality is that disposable products are prevalent in our consumer culture and are unlikely to disappear anytime soon. This presents a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on the world by creating more sustainable disposable products and steering our industry towards a more environmentally-friendly direction. By designing products with recyclable materials and promoting durable, high-quality items, we aim to extend their lifespan and minimize waste generation. Together, we can make a significant difference by embracing recycling and reusability, creating a greener future for all.

Who this holds great importance?

For the greater good of disposables

The foremost aspect of creating eco-friendly disposable products is to minimize the use of virgin natural resources while producing excellent products. Our definition of a sustainable product is one that has the least impact on the environment throughout its entire lifecycle, from creation to disposal or reclamation. However, it is not possible to create a completely sustainable disposable cup, and we do not have one. Neither does anyone else. Most conventional plastic foodservice products are made from petroleum-based plastics such as foam, polystyrene, or polyethylene. We need all the oil we have today to build renewable energy infrastructure and fuel the transition to a more sustainable world. Therefore, disposable cups, which are used for a few minutes and then discarded, are not the best use of this valuable resource. Through our efforts, we are expanding our limits of what is feasible in disposable products by utilizing eco-friendly better materials, reducing the use of virgin plastics, and operating with transparency as a company.  We are committed to taking bold steps towards a sustainable future, even if it requires us to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty.
