We are constantly looking for sustainable packaging products that are strong enough to endure the complexity of our harvesting and cooling processes. We do our best to utilize such products as they become available.
TWIST TIES
Our ties are intended to provide identification for food safety, product traceability and contain the UPC code for quick and easy supermarket checkouts. They are water-resistant and the wire is encased in plastic to prevent rusting. The wire is made of 90% post-consumer waste but cannot be recycled. The film itself can be recycled #5 if removed from the wire. We are constantly working with suppliers to find the most recyclable and compostable packaging materials on the market.
