BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco-Products^® is launching a new line of durable foodservice containers that can be easily returned and reused by customers.

The new containers, called Veda™, feature proprietary tracking and collection technology created by OZZI^®, a leading reusable systems and container brand. The containers are primarily designed for closed-system foodservice environments like colleges and universities, corporate campuses, military bases and hospitals.

Eco-Products has unveiled a new line of durable foodservice containers that can be easily returned and reused by customers. Called Veda, the new containers feature proprietary tracking and collection technology created by OZZI. The containers are primarily designed for closed-system foodservice environments like colleges and universities, corporate campuses, military bases and hospitals. Learn more at www.ecoproducts.com.

Novolex^®, the parent company of Eco-Products, made a strategic investment in OZZI in April 2024 that has enabled the collaboration between Eco-Products and OZZI.

"Reuse is a critically important element of the waste diversion toolkit," said Wendell Simonson, Director of Marketing at Eco-Products. "We're excited to bring the same passion to reusable systems that has defined our approach to compostability, and believe the two solutions can be complementary while reuse gains traction."

Veda containers are simple to use. A customer acquires the container through a one-time purchase, deposit or dining-services program, then eats on-site or takes their meal to go. When finished, the customer brings their container to an OZZI collection machine, where the container is scanned and stored. In exchange, the customer receives a token or credit for their next container, or their deposit is returned.

The OZZI system works independently or can be integrated into campus meal plan systems such as CBORD, Atrium and Transact.

The Veda containers are offered in a variety of sizes, including 8x8, 9x9, 9x6 and 5x5 inches, with options for one compartment or three compartments for increased versatility. The products are NSF Certified to meet food protection and sanitation standards, and Ecolab Ware tested up to 1,000 washes.
