Pacific Resource Group is the premier manufacturer and distributor among the suppliers of disposable food service packaging. Their solid decade of experience and their customer-first approach to development and manufacture of disposable food service packaging is second to none and has resulted in the most innovative and celebrated environmentally friendly plastic packaging and container products in the industry. And they continue to stay one step ahead of the competition with their ongoing effort to create and innovate with naturally derived packaging materials.

Not every manufacturer/ distributor of food service packaging can be suppliers of disposable food service packaging. The research and development costs necessary to create a container or packaging that is both lightweight, strong, and also completely disposable and safe for the environment is quite large, and not every supplier is environmentally responsible enough to undertake costs that expensive. The results and rewards are numerous, and more and more companies (even those that exist outside the food service industry) are catching on to the benefits of having their packaging be safe for the earth.

For over half of their decade long existence, Pacific Resource Group has been among the elite suppliers of disposable food service packaging. They introduced their NatureWorks line of plastic, yet safe for the environment containers and packaging in 2002 and have taken a quantum leap forward in packaging advancements. Pacific Resource Group’s NatureWorks line of containers and packaging is based around proprietary plastic resins that are derived from natural and sometimes surprising substances.      

Back in 2002 when the NatureWorks line was barely being rolled out, it all began with Pacific Resource Group’s PLA line of food service packaging and it was naturally a complete success. PLA stands for polylactic acid. Polylactic acid is derived through corn starch and cane sugars through bacterial fermentation to create biodegradable and renewable polyester based polymers. It is a typical thermoplastic, which means that when heat is applied to it, it melts into a liquid then turns solid when cooled. This allows it to be molded into fiber or film. This allows Pacific Resource Group to use it to create containers, trays and shrink/ cling film for the food service industry.

Pacific Resource Group is now offering food service packaging that is based on things like palm fiber, bamboo, and even tapioca. What could be better than packaging whatever your company wants in a strong plastic container that is totally natural and not harmful to the environment? Its an absolute no brainer.
