Vertical Roots introduces reduced-plastic packaging in salads

From The Packer News—Sustainability

Vertical Roots, the leading hydroponic container farming company in the U.S. growing fresh, nutritious leafy greens, is pleased to introduce a new innovative packaging design that utilizes 30% less plastic and prolongs freshness for the brand’s line of salad mixes; available in stores this month.

The new packaging also features an elevated brand design and color palate as the company is set to expand its product line later this year.

Vertical Roots lettuces are always sustainably grown, non-GMO and pesticide free, and are on grocery store shelves within one to three days of being harvested. Because of Vertical Roots indoor farm’s extreme food safety standards, produce is clean, contaminant-free and has a 14+ day shelf life.
