Emerald Packaging Partners with D'Arrigo California to Develop PCR Bag for Romaine
Emerald Packaging, Inc., the leading flexible packaging company for produce in the U.S., has collaborated with D'Arrigo California, a leading grower, packer and shipper of fresh produce that ships under the Andy Boy label, to further develop a post-consumer recycled (PCR) bag for its romaine hearts products. The bag will be available in all grocers that carry Andy Boy romaine hearts across North America.
The two companies share a commitment to improving the environment in their respective industries. The new romaine hearts bag will be made up of 30 percent PCR plastic, helping D'Arrigo California and Emerald Packaging reduce the need for virgin plastic production, taking a step towards a more circular economy. The use of PCR reduces plastic pollution by diverting waste material from landfill, which could also end up in the oceans.
