Managing Supply Chain Uncertainty: How AMS Compostable Covers You from A to Z

<p>The recent imposition of tariffs on Chinese imports has left many foodservice providers scrambling to find alternative solutions for their packaging needs. At AMS•COMPOSTABLE, we're proud to offer a range of compostable food containers and eco-friendly packaging solutions that not only help you avoid costly tariffs but also reduce your environmental footprint.</p><h2>The Tariff Trap</h2><p>China's tariffs on paper-fiber products, including packaging materials, have reached a staggering 151.38% (145% tariff + 6.38% anti-subsidy bond). This has significant implications for foodservice providers who rely on these products to package their goods. By partnering with a US-based compostable food container manufacturer like AMS•COMPOSTABLE, you can avoid these costly tariffs and streamline your supply chain.</p><figure id="figure-sctoa059vm96i95ii"><img id="sctoa059vm96i95ii" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/22aebsewyLGaDQpEfsSFsriUQqIPVef2dXfbnfqnPz1aI1m2lxUy3WYnRL9ioIl6.jpg" alt="US-China Tarrif Trade War two containers crashing" title="US-China Tarrif Trade War two containers crashing" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 75% 70%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="75%" data-positiony="70%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/22aebsewyLGaDQpEfsSFsriUQqIPVef2dXfbnfqnPz1aI1m2lxUy3WYnRL9ioIl6.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 75% 70%;"></figure><h3>Compostable Food Containers: A Sustainable Alternative</h3><p>Our compostable food containers and compostable bags are made from plant-based materials and are designed to be biodegradable and compostable.
