SAYREVILLE, N.J., June 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sabert Corporation, a global leader in innovative and sustainable food packaging solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its new patented EcoEdgeTM Paper Cutlery. Recyclable and compostable, Sabert’s groundbreaking disposable cutlery line offers operators a viable and sustainable alternative to plastic cutlery.
With its sleek ergonomic design, natural look and smooth finish, EcoEdgeTM Paper Cutlery helps create an elevated dining experience for dine-in, to-go and food-away-from-home occasions without impacting food flavor. In addition, Sabert’s paper cutlery achieves the same fitness for use as plastic cutlery, standing up against hot, warm and cold foods, such as soups, oatmeal, ice cream, protein dishes, leafy green salads and pies.
“Sabert continues to be at the forefront of food packaging innovation, and EcoEdgeTM Paper Cutlery is a prime example of how we continue to think about what’s next, not only one year from now but many years to come,” said Stephny S. Halstead, Vice President, Marketing & New Product Development at Sabert Corporation. “We have a critical role in developing environmentally responsible solutions for operators that exceed customers’ performance expectations while helping them enhance their sustainability goals. Our EcoEdgeTM Paper Cutlery is a tremendous success in the European market due to its durability, strength and functionality. The initial positive feedback from our customers has shown that our paper cutlery far surpasses the performance of wood, bamboo and other plant-based alternative cutlery solutions. We are thrilled to bring this innovation to North America, which aligns with our purpose of reinventing food packaging to nourish and protect our world.”
Derived from FSC-certified renewable resources, EcoEdgeTM Paper Cutlery meets regulatory compliance standards for compostability, is PFAS-free and fully recyclable in paper waste streams. Therefore, Sabert’s pressed paperboard cutlery is the ideal choice for eco-conscious restaurants, caterers, colleges and universities, entertainment venues, supermarkets and other foodservice providers.
The EcoEdgeTM Paper Cutlery introductory line includes an EcoEdgeTM sharp fork and a serrated knife to help spear or cut food easily for a mess-free meal. Also featured in the collection is a sturdy spoon with an ample spoon bowl, allowing for full scoops of parfaits and other popular menu items. The ultimate solution for any occasion, Sabert’s EcoEdgeTM Paper Cutlery also features robust neck strength and PFAS-free grease resistance that performs against hot food (212° F), and cold and liquid food types.
