Journeying Toward Responsible Packaging
Every day we hear about the importance of choosing products in earth-friendly packaging. We know that’s the right thing to do for the planet, and we want to do our part.
So, what’s the hold-up? Is it really that hard to make all our packaging eco-friendly? Unfortunately, it is. It really is.
With no clear eco-standards in the U.S.A, and a lack of raw sustainable materials world-wide, companies that package food products, like Peri & Sons Farms, are finding it very challenging to quickly transition to earth-friendly, non-plastic packaging, even though we want to.
Please know we’re doing everything we can to get there, but it’s going to take a little time.
Decades of plastic-based packaging yield economies of scale that currently do not exist for new earth-friendly materials. New packaging materials are currently far more expensive to produce which necessitates higher prices all the way down to the consumer. We believe it’s a price worth paying, and we hope that our customers and consumers think so too.
Together we can make a change for the better.
