Since Earth Day, April 22, 2007, Four Seasons has used Earthcycle's
compostable produce trays for its entire organic packaging program.
Four Seasons entered the organic market in 1996 and the continued demand for
its organic produce speaks to Four Seasons' ability to expertly store and
maintain the quality and integrity of its organic produce in a state-of-the-art
facility, that is certified organic.
Organic produce has grown to represent more than 20 percent of Four Seasons'
total sales and this growth continues through its packaged organic program,
Organic made easy, which provides retailers with a turn-key solution to satisfy
the consumers growing demand. Earthcycle Packaging supports Four Seasons core
competency in organics and its organic roots.
Since its inception in November 2005, Earthcycle's compostable packaging, made
of palm fiber, has proven to be a smart, organic and eco-friendly way of
reducing the ever-growing packaging crisis that is amongst the chief
contributors to North America's mounting waste problem. Palm fiber - formerly
considered a waste product and incinerated - is an agricultural biomass that
composts in less than 90-days, turning into a healthy contribution to the soil.
Having gained immediate momentum in the US - Earthcycle's packaging is
currently being used in select retailers throughout the country.
