By Choosing Cruz Foam...
Why Recycling?
Above all, we want our products to skip the landfill. The US paper recycling rate is over 90% - this is why we’ve designed our Cruz Foam Inside products to be recycled. These products have gone through rigorous testing to be certified curbside recyclable through Western Michigan University. Cruz Foam Inside products are designed to go straight into the recycling bin - no fuss.
Why Composting?
We love to see Cruz Foam turned into healthy soil. Standalone Cruz Foam is a useful compost amendment and we encourage consumers to compost it in their homes. We are constantly striving to increase the availability of industrial composting by working with legislators, governments, and communities.
Why Now?
The world is changing, and so is the future of waste. The time is ripe for innovative products to make meaningful change. Cruz Foam, which is compostable on its own and recyclable when paired with paper, is at the forefront of this movement towards a more sustainable future.
Lomi-Approved
The Lomi is a countertop appliance that turns food waste and other compostable products into dirt in as little as 4 hours. Cruz Foam is the first product to score a 100 on the Lomi approved test. This means our product broke down in the Lomi within 1 cycle whereas most compostable products take 2 cycles.
USDA Certified Biobased Product
Cruz Foam is proud to be a part of the USDA BioPreferred ProgramⓇ, a USDA-led initiative that aims to facilitate the development and expansion of markets for biobased products. Cruz Foam contains 100% USDA certified biobased content.
Compostable
Cruz Foam meets the ASTM 6400 and D6868 standards for compostability. Cruz Foam reached 97.9% biodegradation within 60 days.
Designed by nature, certified by science.
This year, as Cruz Foam and other circular products come to market, we have the ability to make an enormous difference in the fight against plastic pollution.
Raising the sustainability standard.
Our vision: Cruz Foam aims to set a new standard for what it means to be a sustainable product. All of our actions are rooted in science and inspired by nature.
