Consumers want to do business with firms that are more sustainable and you probably know that your employees want you to go in that direction too. Becoming more eco-friendly or green doesn’t have to cost a fortune or require revamping everything you do. Nor should it be mere window-dressing (a strategy labelled as greenwashing) if you want to reap the benefits of a better public profile.
Why choose Certified Compostable over Degradable or Biodegradable?

The End Is Not Near, But If An 'Insect Apocalypse' Ever Happens, How Would We Know? Insects scuttle, chew and fly through the world around us. Humans rely on them to pollinate plants, prey on insects that we don’t get along with, and to be movers and shakers for Earth’s ecosystems. It’s hard to imagine a world without insects. That’s why news reports in recent months warning of an “ insect apocalypse ” sparked widespread alarm.
