Evanesce

Evanesce is a sustainable packaging manufacturer based in Vancouver, British Columbia, that develops completely compostable serviceware and food packaging solutions to replace traditional single-use plastics. The company utilizes a patented molded starch technology alongside upcycled plant-based byproducts to manufacture biodegradable products, including straws, cups, plates, and food trays. To scale its production capabilities, Evanesce operates a 114,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Early Branch, South Carolina, and an additional plant in North Las Vegas, Nevada, which together produce millions of compostable items annually. The enterprise has raised over $10 million in early-stage funding to accelerate its growth and expand its distribution network across the North American market. The company aims to supply major national distributors, grocery chains, and hospitality brands seeking environmentally friendly alternatives to expanded polystyrene foam. The organization was founded in 2016 by Douglas Horne.
