Packaging of Spinach
L&L Farms is a family-owned and operated farm located in the Winter Garden area of Southern Texas. Winter Garden is known for its year-round production of vegetables such as spinach, arugula, and cabbage – generating around 20 million pounds of harvest each year for grocers and processors throughout the United States. Retailers are increasingly requesting suppliers to deliver products in eco-friendly packaging to help them achieve sustainability objectives and respond to emerging regulatory requirements specifying using more renewable materials in their operations. The company’s recent acquisition of Houston-based Formtex Plastics has opened up additional capacity to meet the demand for domestic production of essential goods coming from this region and throughout the United States.
Demand for eco-friendly packaging continues to grow despite other economic down-shifts in the market. Grocers and food producers alike are forging ahead with sustainability mandates as pressure from key stakeholders, consumers, and NGOs is on the rise. Plant-based or “bioplastic” packaging, including both non-biodegradable and biodegradable formulations like those offered by good natured, is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.6 per cent through 2026 to reach a total market size of USD 37.3 Billion by 2026.
Brandon Olivarria, Sales Manager at L&L Farms, says:
“We’ve always prioritized land stewardship on our farm, striving to promote efficient and sustainable farm practices because we see the connection between how our actions affect the environment. By working with good natured, we were able to make the switch to plant-based packaging that met the expectations of one of our most valued grocery partners and also meshed with our own values to grow and distribute healthy foods that protect our land.”
Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured added:
“Our goal is to make it easier for businesses to switch to plant-based packaging so we can collectively create a more positive environmental impact. For L&L Farms, that meant supplying packaging that would meet the sustainability requirements of the grocer while also making it affordable for L&L Farms. We’re steadfast in our commitment to meet each business wherever they’re on their sustainable packaging journey. We offer packaging designed for both biodegradability and recyclability, depending on what’s most important for them to achieve their goals.”
L&L Farms produce high-quality produce, focusing on food safety and using the most up-to-date and sustainable farming practices.
