United Food Group Develops Sustainable Canister Line For Coffee Condiments

ELGIN, Ill., Nov. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- United Food Group Inc, an innovative developer and manufacturer of specialty dry powder mixes and equipment, developed the first ever sustainable canister for coffee condiments. Unlike traditional cream and sugar canisters that have plastic tops, metal bottoms and end up in landfills, the Perfect Servings Sustainable Canister consists of a reusable outer shell and uses sustainable replacement cartridges that are 100% biodegradable. Additionally, the outer shell comes in eight stock colors and can be private labeled with custom artwork creating a unique marketing tool. The Perfect Servings Sustainable Canister (PS-SC) is the newest addition to UFG's Perfect Servings line.

Over the years, UFG has introduced several unique and environmentally friendly products that have helped expand their powder business. One of their most successful products: Perfect Serving Powder Dispenser (PSPD) was the first ever digital powder dispenser for coffee condiments. It dispenses a packet worth of product with the push of a button and eliminates the waste and pilferage associated with condiment packets. Perfect Servings machines are environmentally friendly and save over 4 billion packets from landfills every year. Bryan Real (UFG Owner) stated: "We are very pleased with the progress our machines have made over the years and we are excited to add the sustainable canister to the Perfect Servings line. Our sustainable canister has the potential to have a significant impact in all industries that serve coffee and it adds overall value to the Perfect Servings line." Real further states: "At the end of the day, we wanted to develop a unique product that will help reduce waste and with this canister I feel we have achieved that."

The Perfect Servings Sustainable Canister is the perfect solution for customers that do not have the counter space for a PS machine or are looking for an alternative to traditional cream and sugar canisters. UFG developed two refill options for the PS-SC, both are compostable and made with FDA approved food grade materials.
