Sustainable Island Products Maui

Aloha and Welcome to Sustainable Island Products

Our Maui location now serves Lanai and Molokai too.

Sustainable Island Products is a family-owned, Hawaii-based distributor of more than 450 eco-friendly, compostable, and recyclable products. We supply Maui businesses with cold cups, deli containers, hot cups and soup containers, cutlery, plates, clamshells, napkins, paper towels, pizza boxes, glass bottles, and jars.

Our products are sustainable alternatives to many single-use items commonly used in restaurants, grocery stores, schools, hotels, and offices.

Our Philosophy

We take great pride in doing everything we can to protect our beautiful and diverse island home. As part of our philosophy, we strive daily to find ways to be more eco-friendly and economically sustainable.

To further strengthen our commitment to this belief, we recently became a Certified B Corporation. (Take a look at Sustainable Island Products B Impact Report here.)

SIP has a strong link to environmental stewardship. We foster a more healthy and natural Hawaii in all that we do, creating a lasting positive social impact. That’s why we guarantee the compostable nature of our products as well as the quality of their performance.

But our investment in a more sustainable Hawaii extends beyond our product offerings.

Actively Supporting a Greener Maui

SIP offsets our shipping, delivery, and utilities-based carbon emissions through landfill gas capture, renewable energy products, and farm power projects.

We also give back a minimum of 20% of our profits to social, education, and environmental cause organizations throughout Hawaii.

Additionally, twice a year, we design custom cold cups as part of our Cups for a Cause program. These cups call attention to local environmental and social non-profits and raise awareness for each group’s important work. We also support those efforts with a donation of $2,000 from cup sales to each highlighted organization.

About Our Products

All of our products are certified compostable except for our glass bottles and jars. That means they can be mixed with food waste and composted at a commercial composting site, typically breaking down in 12 to 16 weeks or less.

In comparison, biodegradable products have no set timetable to break down if returned to nature. In addition, compostable products are an improvement over plastics because approximately 25% of plastics placed in recycling bins still wind up in landfills due to contamination. And overall, only 10% of all plastics are recycled in the United States.
