Quick-service restaurant chain Burgerville has announced that it has achieved a significant milestone toward its goal to offer fully compostable and recyclable packaging, making its composting and recycling program the most comprehensive in the fast-food industry, the company says. Burgerville has 39 locations throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington and is known for its commitment to “fresh, local, and sustainable values.”

Burgerville’s launch of new compostable ecotainer® soft drink cups and lids represents the last major component of its packaging waste stream to go compostable. The ecotainer cup, made by International Paper in cooperation with The Coca-Cola Company, is made using fiber sourced from sustainably managed forests that meet the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) chain-of-custody standards. It uses Ingeo™, a plant-based polylactic acid (PLA) coating, to create a water-resistant barrier. The lid is also made from Ingeo.
