ecoSticks: Changing the World One Table at a Time
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 25, 2016 -- As part of its commitment to a sustainable future, Sugar Foods Corporation announces a new initiative to support the National Park Foundation (NPF), the official charity of America’s national parks, through promotional efforts and donations.
The announcement coincides with the recent launch of ecoStick sweeteners, a new product and package design for Sugar Foods family of zero-calorie sweeteners.
“What makes our new ecoStick ecologically sustainable is its lower impact on the environment,” said Krista Locke, Sugar Foods Marketing Manager. “Specifically, its packaging uses less paper while reducing its overall carbon footprint. That makes National Park Foundation a perfect fit because we have a common goal of preserving our trees, one of America’s great treasures.”
ecoStick sweeteners offer the same great taste of your favorite zero calorie sweetener –minus the GMOs and excess fillers – in elegant space-saving packets and uses the same sweetener ingredient as the retail brands. They are better for our planet since they use 46% less paper.
For the first time, a full line of zero calorie sweeteners in the most popular varieties: sucralose, saccharin, aspartame, and stevia are GMO-free and designed with the environment in mind.
“We’re thinking about the right way to do things, not the traditional way,” said Marty Wilson, President and CEO of Sugar Foods. “Few times in our lives do we have the opportunity to make a simple change with a tremendous impact, and now with ecoStick sweeteners we have one of those such opportunities.”
The ecological effect of ecoStick sweeteners vs. traditional sweetener packets is quite impactful: in one year we would save over 27 million pounds of corn, five million pounds of paper, one million pounds of cardboard and 3,800 gas-guzzling truckloads. Every time an ecoStick sweetener is enjoyed in your favorite beverage, it helps ensure future generations can experience America’s beautiful national parks for years to come.
Help us change the world for the better.
