The lids suitable for moulded containers also come in various sizes, ranging from 24oz bowls to 48oz ovals. Additional sizes will be introduced in 2024.

The rectangular lids in particular feature patent-pending ‘snap-on’ corners, offering audible confirmation that the lid is securely in place.

Meanwhile, the oval and bowl lids come with tabs that fold under the rim to lock them in place.

The new lids are made from renewable moulded fibre that is certified as compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI).

These lids are also produced without added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Eco-Products Product Development director Nicole Tariku said: “Having access to a broad assortment of fibre-based items is proving essential for an increasing number of foodservice operators.

“Our plan is to continue adding items with innovative performance features that make life easier for those adjusting to new regulatory requirements.”

The Vanguard line already offers a range of compostable plates, bowls, clamshells, containers, and lids.

In March this year, Eco-Products obtained CMA-windrow technology approval for its Vanguard clamshell.

The Vanguard clamshell is claimed to be the first moulded fibre item to contain no PFAS.

Eco-Products, a certified B Corp brand under Novolex, is a supplier of foodservice packaging made from renewable and recycled materials.
