California Quivers is committed to continually developing new products, packaging, distribution
and promotion that benefit the well-being of our company, customers and the global environment.
Our CQ Carafes
help keep 832 cans out of our landfills, and 11,787 grams of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Our Shippers
are made in the United States from 97% recyclable fiber that help:
The post-consumer paper used in our shippers is bought directly from the Eugene Mission in Oregon. The Eugene Mission was founded in 1956 as a shelter for homeless men, women and children. The Mission is open 24 hours and provides more than 300 beds for men and 75 beds for women and children, as well as offering food, clothing, and work therapy. More than 100 men take part in work therapy programs daily, many of which participate in the Mission’s paper recycling operation. Western, who manufacturers our shippers, buys more than 150 large thirty-yard dumpsters of newspaper at fair market value, which in turn, supports the Mission and those they serve.
Western is a strong advocate of proper recycling, recovery, and handling of waste associated with packaging. Western designs its molded fiber packaging components to minimize environmental impact in compliance with many agencies, including: CONEG CERTIFICATION/MODEL TOXICS IN PACKAGING COMPLIANCE CALIFORNIA TOXICS IN PACKAGING PREVENTION ACT (AB 455, AB 2021, SB 774) EUROPEAN UNION’S DIRECTIVE ON PACKAGING AND PACKAGING WASTE (94/62/EC OF 20 DECEMBER 1994, AS AMENDED BY 2004/12/EC) and THE CEN PACKAGING STANDARDS (2005/C 44/13) pertaining to heavy metals content requirements. 2008 U.S. LACEY ACT AMENDMENTS
As part of its dedication to principles of responsible manufacturing, Western Pulp Products has incorporated Lacey Act compliance efforts into the sourcing and sale of all of its products and product lines. The Lacey Act is a conservation law first passed in 1900. It has been amended by Congress several times, most recently in 2008. The 2008 Lacey Act amendments were aimed at preventing plant and wood products that have been illegally taken or harvested anywhere in the world from entering the commerce stream in the United States. The 2008 amendments to the Lacey Act require all importers of plant and wood products to file declarations with the Department of Agriculture designating the nature and source of the imported product. Because Western Pulp Products does not directly import any plant or wood products into the United States, Western Pulp Products is not subject to the Lacey Act’s declaration requirements. The 2008 amendments also prohibit the import, export, transport, sale, receipt, acquisition or purchase of any plant or wood product taken or harvested in violation of any domestic or foreign law. Civil and criminal penalties apply to violations of the Lacey Act done “knowingly,” and to violations that could have been prevented in the exercise of “due care.” Although Western Pulp’s product line is made from pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled waste paper, Western Pulp is committed to meeting the Lacey Act’s objectives of preventing illegally sourced wood products from being trafficked in the United States. Western Pulp has not and will not knowingly transport, sell, receive, acquire, or purchase any wood product that has been illegally taken or harvested. Additionally, Western Pulp has implemented a Lacey Act “Due Care Program” to continually monitor its fiber supply in an effort to identify and sequester any wood products that fall under the prohibitions of the Lacey Act.

Our California Quivers Corn Cups are eco-cups, used in our college and high school programs.
They are made of compostable corn certified by Biodegradable Products Institute. Our cups are made with 100%
domestic plants, not foreign oil. Our California Quivers corn cups will return to nature in 45-60 days!
By focusing on compostable products we help divert materials from the landfill. In the end our cups become
rich soil, part of a sustainable cycle of production. To find a composter near you, check out

Our Boxes are made in the United States from 100% recyclable materials. The

Plastic table tents? No way. Why? After walking Torrey Pines State Beach in San Diego, we realized
