Snarls in the global supply chain are making it more difficult for restaurants to find enough straws, iced coffee cups and takeout containers.
said in late October that it absorbed an additional $50 million of supply chain costs for its export operations in its latest quarter. The company no longer makes food service containers but does manufacture corrugated packaging and absorbent pulp, which can both be used for takeout packaging. CEO Mark Sutton told investors he is unsure when the supply chain will normalize, suggesting potentially the second half of 2022.
David Pokorny, a food packaging expert for Imperial Dade, counts Eataly, Bluestone Lane and Bareburger as customers. The sharp declines in restaurant demand and wave of closures hit orders, particularly for Manhattan eateries, but he said demand is now back to about 70% of pre-pandemic levels. Even with fewer orders, Pokorny still spends most of his day sourcing enough products for his customers.
“There’s literally no straws and very, very few clear, iced coffee drink cups,” he said. “There was such a shortage that people said, ‘I don’t care about the price, just send it to me.’”
