Vegware's Environment Friendly Practices Lauded by FSB Streamline

Streamline, the FSB and reputed card payment processing company, has instituted a business award that recognizes the contribution of small businesses, highlighting the important role they play in fuelling the economy in the U.K.

Vegware, the environmentally-friendly food packing company won the FSB Streamline Business Award and identified a clear need in the marketplace, recognized the incentives for businesses to get on board, and made a compelling financial and environmental case for potential customers. This recognition proved that Vegware is making a positive contribution to the U.K. economy and global sustainability.


Further in a short span of time, Vegware metamorphosed from a company with humble beginnings into one that now has customers and franchises across the globe. It has enjoyed tenfold growth in three years, and now employs a team of 26, up from two in late 2009.

Moreover, all the products that are used in the packaging company are entirely plastic-free and can be renewed or recycled as Vegware ensures that all materials are compostable. Realizing that foodservice needed packaging which can actually be recycled after use, it responded to that challenge.

“Our solution of certified compostable catering disposals and full recycling support is helping the UK’s biggest operators meet sustainability targets and save money,” said Joe Frankel, managing director and founder of Vegware.

Apparently, it is the only U.K. business that doesn’t resort either to toxic incineration or landfills. This is in contrast to conventional food packaging, which theoretically claims to be recyclable, but generally ends up being buried or burnt.

“We were impressed by the staggering growth of this company, which now has an established footprint in countries from the US to Australia. Vegware fulfills a real need in the world of catering and proves that eco credentials are right at the heart of our economy’s future,” said Colin Willman, chairman, of FSB.
