ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

16 Companies Rethinking Packaging

Some companies would like to use more sustainable packaging but feel the nature of their product makes it difficult or impossible with available options. Recycling facilities can’t accept the flexible plastic pouches Buddy Fruits uses for its small-batch fresh fruit purees. Sustainability is an important part of its brand, but the highly perishable product needs to be as airtight as possible. While searching for a more sustainable and equally secure alternative, BuddyFruits has partnered with TerraCycle. Terracycle collects and recycles hard to recycle products and makes new materials and products. Buddy Fruits customers can request an envelope from TerraCycle to ship-in their empty pouches. Many other food and beverage companies, such as White Leaf Provisions, partner with TerraCycle for the same reasons as Buddy Fruits.
