Details

We are looking for assistance in sourcing biodegradable or fully recyclable packaging. Our product currently comes in plastic packaging that is not fully recyclable. Our limited person-power has left us unable to source packaging that meets all of our criteria.

Our packaging requirements are as follows:

  • Either fully recyclable or biodegradable
  • Hot fillable at 90-95 degrees Celsius
  • Is fridge and freezer storable
  • Looks attractive on shelf
  • Costs less than 15 cents per unit and is ideally already labelled
  • Is lightweight for shipping (not glass)
  • Annual orders of approximately 10-20k units (pending scalability)
