Consumer demand for culinary and wellness botanicals are on the rise, and Starwest Botanicals, the industry’s leading wholesaler of organic, herbs, spices and teas is here to meet it with its latest innovation – Eco-Pouch herbs and spices.
The new, smaller pre-packaged line of spices makes for easy grab-n-go purchase and a simple complement to the bulk bin section. Building off consumer demand, the line includes popular adaptogens like ashwagandha, licorice root, nettle and turmeric that may help support healthy stress and energy levels and overall mental balance.
To improve sustainability and maintain peak freshness, the new pouches are sealed in eco-friendly packaging that can easily be recycled.
“Eco-pouches are the ideal entry point for consumers looking to incorporate benefit-driven botanicals into their culinary and wellness routines,” said Cole Daily, Chief Executive Officer of Starwest Botanicals. “And, our new sustainable packaging makes it easier to recycle after each use.”
All Eco-Pouches can be recycled through the Store Drop Off stream with exceptions for the cloves, cinnamon and turmeric pouches. Designed to protect herbs and spices from light degradation, the custom packaging is opaque and BPA free.
Eco-Pouches are the first in a series of eco-friendly packaging updates Starwest Botanicals will be introducing as it shifts to improve the sustainability of its packaging.
