The market for better environmental choices in disposables continues to grow, despite some push back due to the cost in these struggling economic times. Many end use operators (particularly in the west) are striving to ‘do the right thing’ in regards to their choices in disposables. While the ‘green’ market is expected to be in a state of flux for some time to come due to rapid changes in the supply of materials we think that this will certainly continue to be a huge potential for our companies growth in the future.
Listed below are some of the manufacturer partners we represent who are actively involved in pursuing ‘green’ alternatives to traditional disposables.
