We loved reading about the success of this pilot composting program at Henderson County School District in Texas 👏

With support from the Foodservice Packaging Institute, the program diverted more than 95 tons of scraps over two school years 🍎♻️ but even more outstanding, helped educate students on the importance of food diversion.

Teaching our kids how to live a sustainable lifestyle helps ensure a bright future and beautiful earth for many generations to come 🌟🌎

Foodservice Packaging Institute’s communication and training support was key to engaging educators, food staff, and students

A recent report from Nielsen presents the growing shift to sustainable packaging as a key opportunity for brands.

Consumer demand and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation are driving forces for sustainability claims on packaging, which also happen to drive sales.

At Genera, we're eager to support brands on their pursuit of more sustainable packaging because we believe it's better for consumers, better for business and better for the earth.

Go back to school smarter with compostable trays!
