Happy Plastic-Free July!🌱🎆 As a Santa Cruz-based company, our co-founders were driven to action after witnessing chunks of EPS polluting our oceans and littering our beaches. Inspired to make a difference, Cruz Foam emerged as a spin-off from a research project at UCSC. Our compostable packaging foam, crafted from up-cycled agricultural waste and starches, is now commercially available for various applications, including block and brace, cold chain, and more. The possibilities are endless, and as a conscious consumer, you have the power to be a catalyst for change. Encourage your favorite brands to make a sustainable switch in their packaging. Remember, your voice and input matter. #CruzFoam #FollowNature #ForTheOcean #RethinkYourFoam #Packaging #Plastic #Waste #Pollution #Composting #Recycling #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #PlasticFreeJuly

There is a lot of talk in today's world around ESG, recycling of materials, and commitments to reducing carbon footprints. As a foam fabricator in Silicon Valley, we are constantly being asked, "Are there any new materials out there that can help us achieve our ESG goals?" Today, we had a chance to catch up with Cruz Foam. They are really onto something special that can significantly change the playing field in protective packaging and cold chain applications. I love learning about new materials, and I think this one will be quite fun to continue learning about. Want to learn more? Shoot me a message and let's connect!

We are immensely proud to collaborate with companies that have such a deeply rooted mission, evident from the product's creation to its delivery. Thank you, Wild Idea Buffalo Co. & A New Earth Project, for making this happen.

Plastic Free July is here, but it’s more than a month-long campaign. It's a global movement to reduce plastic pollution and its detrimental environmental impact. As awareness grows, many companies are innovating ways to minimize plastic usage and keep it out of consumers' hands. Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues right now. Each year, more than 8 million tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans, causing significant harm to marine life and ecosystems. The choices we make as consumers have a profound impact on the environment. By supporting companies that prioritize sustainability and reduce plastic use, we contribute to a larger movement towards a plastic-free future.

'Mountains of plastic waste, overflowing landfills, and polluted oceans are stark reminders of our throwaway culture. Every year, a staggering amount of plastic is generated worldwide, most of which ends up in landfill. The urgency for transformative change is clear. Fortunately, a promising shift is taking place: circular packaging. More and more businesses are embracing this approach to decrease waste and conserve resources drastically.'
