A more sustainable way to go

Food delivery and quick-service restaurants are staples of modern life, but single-use items like disposable cups and takeout containers often cannot be recycled or composted. Those ready for a change can turn to Eastman Solus™ DBX paper coatings.

Solus™ DBX enhances sustainability from the start with biobased and optional recycled content via molecular recycling.* It also provides valuable end-of-life options, including recyclability in the paper stream and compostability. That means Solus™ DBX can help keep materials out of landfills. It can also ensure ease of processing for biopolymers on paper and paperboard, making it ideal for to-go packaging.

Solus™ DBX helps brands meet customer standards for sustainability and comply with increasingly stringent regulations without compromising performance.

A better choice for single use

There’s a more responsible alternative to traditional plastics in disposable food service products, and it’s available now. Eastman Aventa compostable materials offer a much-needed option to improve the environmental profile of single-use items like cutlery and straws. Compostable and biodegradable Aventa will return to the earth without remaining as microplastics.

Aventa is biobased and sourced from sustainable wood pulp. Items made with Aventa look and perform like their traditional counterparts but, once disposed of, can break down in soil. Choose an option that will make a change for the better by choosing Aventa, which is also available as Aventa Renew with certified recycled content.*
