World Centric's business model
Makes compostable food service containers out of renewable resources like corn, sugarcane, and wheat straw fiber (some of which are agricultural by-products) for use in schools, corporate cafeterias, restaurants, and hospitals. The non-toxic, non-polluting products replace single-use plastic and Styrofoam containers, take less energy to produce, and make nutrient-rich soil when composted. World Centric offsets all its carbon emissions from raw materials to final delivery, and donates 25 percent of profits to grassroots social and environmental organizations.
