This was in recognition of Ready Pac’s progressive efforts to actively reduce its carbon footprint with sustainable initiatives throughout its business.
The award recognised Ready Pac and Clear Lam for packaging innovations developed for the Peel and Reseal Tray used for their mixed greens clamshell containers.
The trays are a consumer and environmentally friendly development which sets a new standard for salad packaging. It’s easy to open and keeps lettuce fresh while using a third less plastic, allowing for an extra layer on each pallet during transport.
“The Peel-Reseal project is a great example of the collaborative work with Ready Pac and their packaging supplier, Clear Lam,” said Rutledge. “Not only does this packaging system use less material, it is more efficient throughout the supply chain. This is a project that I will use as a model for future projects.”
