Packaging is a necessary part of our globalized economy.

Providing a barrier between your purchases and the outside world, packaging ensures hygienic conditions and reduces waste from contamination.

Especially in the case of food, packaging is what protects us from harmful disease and the spread of bacteria.

Since the industrial revolution, CO2 levels in the atmosphere

have been growing, and now are 40% higher.

Unless we reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere,

huge and irreversible

damage will be done

to the earth.

Your choice of packaging affects the world, so choosing a manufacturer with environmentally responsible practices is important.

Green packaging means products that were designed with environmental sustainability in mind:

Reduce – Reduce waste both for the final consumer and

during the manufacturing process.

Recycle - Recycled materials are used in production, but

also so that the final product can be easily recycled.

Renew – Responsible manufacturers prioritize the use

of materials from renewable resources, such as corn and

potato starches and sugar cane bagasse.
