Genpak manufactures a comprehensive range of food service packaging including compostable options, microwave-safe containers, insulated foam containers, and paper cups. The company is strategically pivoting toward sustainable alternatives, with the closure of its Cedar City, Utah manufacturing facility scheduled for May 23, 2026, due to rising legislative bans on polystyrene foam products.
