RESTAURANTS ON THE RUN Changes to SuperDegradable™ Cutlery

July 27, 2009 - PRLog -- Aliso Viejo, California - In alignment with their commitment to the environment, the restaurant delivery service, Restaurants on the Run now offers new Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ plastic cutlery with all deliveries.

Restaurants on the Run has announced their system wide launch of Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ Cutlery and Servingware… The first, biodegradable, single use plastic cutlery product line in America.

Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ cutlery, looks, performs and feels like high quality plastic cutlery and easily withstands severe heat tests.  Doing the right thing for the environment has never been easier.

Because, over 98% of all single use food service cutlery ends up in the garbage, and ultimately a landfill due to “end of life” management constraints, Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ cutlery is a very real and long term solution for the millions of pieces of single use cutlery used every day.  With a very limited number of commercial composting facilities (about 135) operating throughout  the country, It will be many years before composting will become a viable option for the disposal of single use cutlery and other disposable food containers.

Transitions2earth™, in partnership with EcoPure™ has introduced an additive, that when utilized allows microbial activity to break down the molecular structure of polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyethylene at levels of up to 100 times faster than without the additive.
The biodegradation process begins when the plastic enters into a landfill.  Microbes colonize on the outer surface or the plastic, and begin to digest it… starting the breakdown process.  Since our product works via microbes, it is distinct from other technologies which use heat, moisture, mechanical methods or UV.

Restaurant on the Run (www.rotr.com) is committed to the environment, and this product is just another way the company has significantly reduced the impact of single use cutlery on the environment.
