DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. — ECO-BOX has designed a breakthrough replacement for disposable cardboard box packaging used in applications like “Bag-In-Box” beverage syrup containers. ECO-BOX’s re-usable frame made from post-consumer recycled plastic carries the plastic bag filled with the product, instead of the traditional heavy cardboard box. The ECO-BOX frame allows a huge reduction in waste that now gets thrown in the garbage and ends up in a landfill. After the contents are used, the small empty bag is easily removed for recycling, and the ECO-BOX frame is easily folded flat for return and re-use.
Currently, restaurants, bars, cafeterias, concession stands, and snack bars serving fountain drinks use millions of “Bag-In-Box” (BIB) containers, then most throw the complete box and internal bag in the garbage, creating millions of cubic feet of trash for landfills.
