Fountain Inn-based D&W Fine Pack LLC will officially launch a new line of molded fiber products made from sugarcane at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago.

The new line of sugarcane based products will include various sizes of plates, bowls and hinged containers that are designed to complement the existing line of environmentally friendly products that D&W Fine Pack has previously developed. The new sugarcane based products will also be available with poly-lactic acid coating that will approve increased moisture and grease resistance for hot foods.

“We’re extremely excited about launching this new product line for many reasons,” said Joseph Lancia, president & CEO of D&W Fine Pack. “First, we are committed to offering our customers the best sustainable product choices possible. We know that not every product is going to be suitable for each application, that’s why we are striving to broaden our environmentally friendly product lines.

“Secondly, though each of our legacy companies have independently developed and brought to market a line of environmentally friendly products, this represents the first of what could be many new introductions by D&W Fine Pack,” he added.

D&W Fine Pack will officially launch the new sugarcane based plates, bowls and hinged containers on May 22 at the National Restaurant Association Show at the McCormick Place in Chicago.
