NantBioRenewables, a leading innovator in sustainable packaging solutions, has officially confirmed the news relaying that its groundbreaking Wave Ware™ protein tray is selected as a finalist in the renowned Global competition -Sustainability Awards.
According to certain reports, the company’s revolutionary “Ocean calcium containing compostable protein tray” would go on to earn this recognition in what is a highly competitive ‘Renewables (Pre-Commercialized)’ category.
As for Sustainability Awards by Packaging, it is understood to be the most prestigious and influential global competition for sustainability in packaging, an initiative which is designed to shed light upon the most important innovations and initiatives throughput packaging value chain in the world. More on the same would reveal how this competition is open to all types of organizations, with the judgment panel holding a diverse international jury of experts.
All in all, these awards tread up a long distance to accelerate adoption of best practices and better technologies, while simultaneously fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing to drive meaningful environmental change.
“What makes this tray formulation truly revolutionary is how we’ve managed to harness ocean-derived materials to create packaging that’s not just sustainable, but actually beneficial to the environment. The Ocean Calcium Sand doesn’t just replace traditional materials – it transforms the entire equation by removing carbon while maintaining superior mechanical properties,” said Dr. Andrey Tyuftin PhD, R&D Chemist and lead developer of compostable packaging materials at NantBioRenewables
Anyway, turning our attention towards Wave Ware™ protein tray, it is the world’s first compostable tray made with carbon-negative Ocean Calcium Sand. Manufactured in the United States, it arrives on the scene bearing an ability to leverage Ocean Calcium Sand (OCS) which, on its part, is a uniquely renewable resource boasting a negative carbon footprint, meaning it actually removes CO₂ from the atmosphere during biogenic harvest.
Talk about some of the other significant characteristics associated with Wave Ware™ protein tray, it is specifically created to facilitate reduced polymer dependency. In essence, the technology significantly shrinks the world’s reliance on high-cost biodegradable polymers, and it does so on the back of innovative material composition.
“This recognition validates our belief that the future of packaging lies in harnessing nature’s own materials in ways that benefit both business and the environment,” said Kenn Budlong, Chief Operating Officer at NantBioRenewables. “We’re proud to be pioneering solutions that don’t just minimize harm – they actively heal our planet.”
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the solution’s full industrial compostability. You see, Wave Ware™ protein tray is well-known for meeting rigorous standards in the context of achieving complete breakdown across commercial composting facilities.
Rounding up highlights would be the technology’s comprehensive resource base, something which stems from its tendency to bank upon Ocean Calcium Sand, a naturally abundant and sustainable material.
Among other things, we ought to mention how winners of the Sustainability Awards will be announced at the Sustainable Packaging Summit, set to take place on November 10-12 in Utrecht, Netherlands.
Headquartered in Gadsden, Alabama, NantBioRenewables’ rise up the ranks is orchestrated by its track record of developing innovative, sustainable packaging solutions that effectively address the world’s environmental challenges. The company’s excellence in what it does can also be understood once you consider it currently serves customers across food service, retail, and industrial markets, using products that combine superior performance with exceptional environmental benefits
“Being selected as a finalist by such a distinguished international panel of experts is tremendous validation of our commitment to environmental innovation,” said Lila Karlsen McNutt, Global Sales & Marketing Director at NantBioRenewables. “Our Wave Ware™ protein tray doesn’t just reduce environmental impact – it actively contributes to carbon removal while delivering the performance and functionality that food producers and consumers demand.”
