GreenStripe® vs. BlueStripe™
Almost all of our products have environmental benefits (we're working on making it "all"), but it can be confusing to choose the right items for you.
To simplify things, we've color coded our product lines to help you. GreenStripe® products are renewable and compostable, while BlueStripe™ products are made with recycled content.
Which line is right for you? It depends on a combination of what is important to you and what your access to recycling and composting looks like. The beauty of both platforms is that the materials themselves deliver an environmental advantage relative to traditional plastics, so you really can't go wrong.
