Fiber-Based Produce Packaging
EverGrow Reduces Waste with Sustainably Sourced Wood Fiber
Laura McQuarrie — June 18, 2021The EverGrow collection from WestRock offers a different approach to produce packaging by using sustainably sourced wood fiber that can easily be flattened and recycled after use. The product helps to reduce the dependence on single-use plastic and it moves the company closer to its goals of a product portfolio that's 100% reusable, recyclable and compostable.
The collection's baskets, carriers, punnets and tills have been created with growers, retailers and consumers in mind, as they are functional, easy to properly dispose of and eye-catching. The products are also perfect for carrying, packing and stacking, and they represent a positive shift towards purchasing everything from tomatoes and mushrooms to apples with less waste in the future.
