About Thomas Bathe

My name is Thomas Bathe and I am the Vice President of Sales at Emerald Brand.Since 1997, Emerald Brand has been the leading innovator in sustainable everyday disposables and retail packaging made from unique rapidly renewable materials such as bagasse (a sugarcane by product) and plant starch in efforts to combat deforestation and climate change. Emerald’s product line ranges from Tree-Free™ paper products, petroleum-free plastics, USDA Bio-preferred disposables, specialty packaging solutions, and chemical-free cleaning solutions. Quarterly Environmental Impact Statements are sent to customers to show exactly how their facility is combating deforestation and climate change by converting to Emerald’s suite of sustainable solutions.Emerald’s mission is to provide everyday disposables to companies and consumers that are healthy for people and safe for the environment. Its innovative process delivers a price-neutral alternative when compared to tree-based and plastic-based products, making change an easy choice for all customers. Emerald also includes an environmental consultation service, Emerald Ecovations, that helps businesses adhere to new regulations and environmental mandates. We now offer a license to utilize Emerald Ecovations Tree-Free™ Material Technology for approved clients.Emerald Brand is currently expanding our mission to provide revolutionary tissue technology by working with American farmers and manufacturers to transform traditionally wasted materials into high quality disposables, eliminate local air pollution, increase farmers’ revenue, and create American jobs.
