AboutService and Leadership
Anthony has over 26 years of experience in the foodservice industry as a manufacturer, distributor and broker. Throughout his career, he has developed markets in the healthcare, hospitality, B & I and education segments. Anthony has developed products and services that have greatly improved the quality provided in these segments while helping to reduce labor. His many years of experience coupled with his passion for the environment helped to fuel the formation of EarthSmart™ Products with a mission to provide sustainable, disposable packaging, primarily for the foodservice industry. It is with this goal always in mind that EarthSmart™ takes a leadership role in the development of green, single-use products that are manufactured from natural, annually-renewable raw material sources.
A Message from the President/CEO:
Raw materials, like wood, are in limited supply and fossil fuels like oil and natural gas require millions of years for creation. I believe that using these precious reserves to manufacture a product that is used for a mere 20 minutes or so is a terrible waste of our valuable natural resources. That is why all of our products are produced from raw materials that are annually renewable.
EarthSmart™ excels at making custom products for specialized applications. Whether a custom size for a specific packaging application or a requirement for a custom-printed product, we can do it. We actively evaluate and respond to all requests for special products and can provide solutions quickly and efficiently. Our response time is days, not weeks, and prototypes can be presented in as little as 3-4 weeks on viable projects. We have a proven track record of bringing products from concept, through prototype and into stock in less than 100 days!
EarthSmart™ is truly a global company and, in most cases, we can respond to information inquiries the same or next day, even when it involves getting information from overseas or different time zones. I believe that for you, our customer, to be successful, you need information in a rapid and timely manner and, at EarthSmart™, that is what we strive to provide.

Consumer demand for natural and organic foods is growing, and so is their demand for eco-friendly packaging for that food. Environmentally conscious consumers are growing increasingly concerned about the sustainability of packaging materials as well as the use of unnecessary packaging. For the first time in history, product packaging is being re-evaluated to determine whether it really has a purpose aside from product conveyance and protection.
