EcoTensil

Jul 1, 2022

California-based EcoTensil has introduced a paperboard utensil built into the EcoFoodBox for the European market. EcoTensil has teamed NeverLeak food box, Global-C. The multi-tensil is said to fold back neatly inside the box so it is sandwiched between the flap in the lid. It is separate from the food as well as external environment. According to EcoTensil, a “bend-to-touch-the-dots” fold creates a scoop. Peggy Cross, EcoTensil founder and chief executive, said: “One of the key advantages of this food box is the dramatic reduction in materials due to producing the utensil out of the extra material around the die-cut box. No wrap is needed because the utensil stays clean under the flap. The terrific moisture-barrier paperboard used for the NeverLeak food box ticks all the same certified sustainability boxes as the EcoTensil products themselves.” Wayne Costigan, director at Global-C, added: “This product is a perfect solution for airlines and transit because it can go from freezer to oven to passenger with minimal fuss and material, right down to eliminating the need to provide wrapped utensils, saving both handling and product costs.” EcoTensil’s Cross claim that “the box, utensil and food can all be composted, or with no food, it can all be recycled”. 2022-07-01
