Excellent Packaging & Supply Adds Verterra and Eco-Gecko to Range of Elegant, Single-Use Catering Solutions

Richmond, CA (PRWEB) June 29, 2011

Excellent Packaging & Supply, an innovator and wholesale distributor of sustainable, biodegradable, and nature-based packaging for foodservice and other applications, has added a complete range of stylish, bio-based dinnerware products from VerTerra? and Eco-gecko? to its extensive selection of catering and foodservice products. VerTerra plates, bowls and serving dishes are made from fallen palm leaves and water, yet perform well with hot or cold foods and liquids, including soup. When partnered with Eco-gecko wooden cutlery made from sustainably harvested birch wood, event planners and caterers can deliver the most chic, bio-based and sustainable table setting available today.

Sustainable place settings communicate a strong commitment to the environment

The VerTerra and Eco-gecko place settings are designed for event planners and caterers who wish to weave a distinct sustainability message into their services. Most other bio-based and sustainable dinnerware is made from a combination of sugarcane fiber (bagasse), reed, bamboo, tree or wheat pulp. While these materials are environmentally friendly, the resulting on-table image can be somewhat utilitarian. In contrast, every piece of VerTerra dinnerware is a work of art. Since it is made from fallen leaves, VerTerra has a unique look that is simply beautiful and quite unexpected (in catering circles) ? while still offering the convenience and practicality of lightweight, single-use/disposable dinnerware.

The elegance of VerTerra dinnerware at a table setting or standing meal is enhanced when partnered with Eco-gecko cutlery. Eco-gecko biodegradable and compostable wooden cutlery is made from FSC-certified birch wood that is taken from re-harvested plantation forests, using a sustainable approach that ensures it can be re-grown and re-harvested, over and over again. Unlike the oil used in plastic cutlery, which takes millions of years to produce, the re-planting and re-harvesting of birch trees is sustainable. Smooth and sturdy, Eco-gecko cutlery contains absolutely no chemicals or coatings.

Gerard Pangaud, executive chef at Marriott International headquarters in Bethesda, MD, says the elegant aesthetics of the VerTerra and Eco-gecko place settings were foremost in his considerations when he recently catered the Castleton Festival, held in rural Rappahannock County, Virginia. ?We wanted to accentuate the beautiful, natural setting of the venue with an environmentally sustainable dining experience. Everything ? from our choice of ingredients and menu, to the individual place settings ? was conceived with that in mind. Several guests complimented us on the use of the VerTerra square plates. After the service, we had only compostable and recyclable waste to manage ? and no garbage bags full of plastic knives and forks to dispose of.?

?These planet-friendly dinnerware and cutlery products from VerTerra and Eco-gecko add an extremely refined and chic look to any catered event, party or wedding while communicating an unmistakable commitment to the environment and sustainability,? said Allen King, president of Excellent Packaging & Supply. ?It?s no understatement to say that diners marvel over the uniqueness and beauty of plates and bowls made from leaves, and cutlery made from birch wood. Together, these products lend tremendous goodwill to the host and organizer of the event.?

This combination of VerTerra dinnerware and Eco-gecko cutlery is available exclusively through Excellent Packaging?s wholesale division (http://www.excellentpackaging.com) and its BioMass Packaging? retail division (http://www.biomasspackaging.com). To learn more about the range of bio-based, sustainable catering products offered by Excellent Packaging, or to enquire about volume pricing, call (800) 317-2737.

Yves Rocher Renew Commitment To Fair Trade With Exciting New Organic Product Range

London (PRWEB UK) 27 January 2012

Yves Rocher's new range, ?Expert Repair,? relies on a famous ingredient that is locally produced in Mali?shea butter. The French natural beauty products company has been working closely with Malian locals to develop an organic fair trade shea butter industry with sustainable production, which protects biodiversity and allows the local population to develop through guaranteed minimum wages and vocational training.

Shea butter is a luscious ivory-coloured extract that comes from the nut of the African shea tree and is frequently used as a moisturiser right around the world. Generations of Malian women have passed down their knowledge on how to extract the precious butter from the shea nut?a process more intricate and complicated than it sounds. First the nuts must be carefully sorted, then washed, sun dried, roasted, ground and finally cooked several times before the Malians can reap the benefits of their hard work?a butter with extraordinary reparative and nutritive properties.

The new Expert Repair line from Yves Rocher encompasses three different products containing shea butter?a balm, a lotion and a concentrate. The products are designed to soothe and repair very dry skin and offer immediate comfort and relief, with some of the isolated chemical constituents of shea butter also reportedly having anti-inflammatory properties.

The Expert Repair ?Repair Balm? is a rich, creamy balm formula for daily application all over the body. Designed to soothe as well as repair, Repair Balm is for very dry and damaged skin. The product retails at ?15.00 for a 150ml jar and can be bought from Yves Rocher?s UK Website.

For those who prefer a lotion, the Expert Repair ?Repair Lotion? is also for daily use and is ideal for women seeking softer, less irritated and more radiant skin. In a satisfaction survey, 100% of women reported softer skin after using the product for one month, a testament to its effectiveness. Retailing at ?9.50 for a 150ml tube, Repair Lotion also represents great value, especially considering the product is organic and fair trade.

For women requiring a more concentrated solution for isolated dryness-prone parts of the body, the Expert Repair ?Intense Repair Concentrate? is made from 100% shea butter with deep healing properties. The Intense Repair Concentrate is designed to be applied as often as needed to parts of the body that are prone to extreme dryness, such as the elbows, knees, hands and feet. In a satisfaction survey, 81% of women using the product observed that very dry patches of skin appeared to be healed after a month?s application. Intense Repair Concentrate retails at ?17.00 for a 45ml jar and can also be bought on Yves Rocher?s website.

New Fitness Product Skaters Coach Making Skating Accessible to a Broader Range of Participants for Fitness and Fun

Saint Charles, IL (PRWEB) June 29, 2010

Liz Miller is a well known inline skating instructor and has been helping inline skaters start (and stop!) skating successfully and safely since 1992. Visit her web site at http://www.getrolling.com/. In Liz?s Blog she writes about a new fitness product Skaters Coach that is now available to make inline skating accessible to a broader range of participants. While there are gifted athletes that don?t need assistance while skating, there is a larger amount of people that do need assistance. Skaters Coach provides that assistance giving skaters added stability and balance.

Inline skating gained popularity in the late 1990?s as a fun, joint friendly exercise that does double duty as an effective lower body sculptor and mega calorie burner. The only downside: the potential to cause injury. In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission?s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System?s (NEISS) latest figures from 2005 report nearly 27,000 emergency room visits from skating falls. The Skaters Coach helps eliminate that risk, and may be the one product that brings back the popularity of inline skater for more people.

No other exercise will work 6 different body parts like inline skating, cardiovascular, cardio respiratory, strengthens core, shapes and develops legs, butt, and stomach muscles all with one exercise. Why not skate safely, while enjoying these many benefits with Skaters Coach.
