NantBioRenewables wins award for compostable tray
Engineered and manufactured in Gadsden, Alabama, the Wave Ware™ tray is produced using BioCal™, a proprietary biocomposite made from renewable, carbon-negative Ocean Calcium Sand (aragonite) sourced from the Bahamas that is blended with compostable biopolymers. Internal assessments and supplier data show that the composite delivers a 72% lower global warming potential than polyethylene terephthalate and a 66% reduction compared with polypropylene.
The AmeriStar Awards recognize the most innovative and impactful packaging solutions in the United States, and this year’s competition included submissions from major Fortune 500 companies.
“This award is a major win for Gadsden and Alabama manufacturing,” said Lila Karlsen McNutt, Global Sales & Marketing Director at NantBioRenewables. “We’re proving that world-class sustainable materials can be made right here in our community, supporting local jobs while solving real environmental challenges in food packaging.”
