Crispy Green Uses Food as a Force for Good on every level. From the quality of its product to its impact on the environment and everything in between. With a focus on sustainability in 2022, Crispy Green has updated the packaging design of its Crispy Fruit product line to reduce overall packaging materials and provide a new, recyclable material for its new multipack bag. The new packaging is now available online at www.crispygreen.com, and is starting to show up on retail shelves across the nation.
On Average 53% More Fruit in Each New Single-Serving Bag
Reducing the company’s overall packaging was a major initiative to become more sustainable. With that goal, the new single-serving bag now contains 53 percent more fruit on average. In addition to reducing the packaging to fruit ratio, it also provides consumers with a larger portion of their snack. Angela Liu, CEO and Founder of Crispy Green explained “Over the years, we’ve received many requests and comments from our customers that they love our product but wish there were a few more bites in each bag. This new single-serving bag is a true win-win for consumers and the environment!”
4-Pack is the New 6-Pack
The single-size serving bag is not the only change. To reduce packaging materials even more, we have adjusted the multipack from 6-pack to 4-pack. The new 4-pack (containing 4 new-and-improved single-serving bags) has on average more fruit than the original 6-pack. But not only does this reduce packaging material, the new multipack bag is now recyclable, which is in line with Crispy Green’s focus on greater sustainability.
