Talk:Environmentally Preferable Food Service Ware

From P2RxWiki

I'd like to suggest that a Heading be added to compile existing contracts and contract language for Environmentally Preferable Food Service Ware.

I'd like to offer my States Contract that I worked on last year:

In November 2008 a one year contract was awarded for Plates, Bowls, Trays, Containers, Utensils, Lunch Boxes, and Wrapping Materials, with a January 2009 start date. This contract (1-08-73-02A) can be downloaded, [1] . In February 2009 a one year contract was awarded for Cups, Lids, Containers and Napkins with a March 2009 start date. This contract (1-09-73-02C) can be downloaded [2] . Both of these contracts were awarded to San Joaquin Distributors, which is a “California based Small Business” specializing in disposable food containers. The bid specification will be revisited next year to add and improve criteria as the technology and measurement methods are further developed, for example there may be upgrades in coatings and updates in the ASTM standards for composting as they are under development along with the many new municipal and commercial composting equipment and facilities are being implemented in CA and throughout the US.
