About Elevate Packaging
Elevate Packaging is based in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 2000 by Rich Cohen after a 1999 sabbatical during which he discovered tree-free papers made from invasive plant species, Cohen, a former corporate strategist and computer scientist at a Fortune 500 company, launched the venture to address plastic pollution he witnessed while trail running and climbing. The company designs and produces a full line of compostable packaging, including stand-up pouches, flat pouches, cellophane bags, coffee bags, poly mailers, pressure-sensitive labels (PURE Labels™), packaging tape, and gloves. Products are sold in stock sizes (e.g., 100-count packs, 1,000-label rolls) and as custom-printed orders with vivid full-color graphics. Elevate also operates a take-back program with the Compost Stewardship Institute to collect and compost used packaging. Customers span natural and organic food brands, institutional food service, coffee and tea roasters, cannabis producers, apparel and body-care companies, e-commerce retailers, and restaurants. The company serves businesses of all sizes seeking to replace petroleum-based plastics with certified compostable alternatives. Elevate was founded on the mission “Eliminate Plastic Waste and Create a Healthy Planet.” The company positions itself as environmentalists first, emphasizing that its products meet ASTM D6400 and BPI certification standards, and that its take-back program ensures packaging actually gets composted, closing the loop in a circular economy.
