11 Nov 2022 --- Upward Farms has unveiled a recycled and resealable packaging design for its line of USDA-certified organic microgreens. The “world’s largest” organic vertical farming companies’ new design is now available at Whole Foods Market locations across New York and New Jersey, such as DeCicco’s & Sons, Westside Market, Union Market, Foodtown, Morton Williams, D’Agostino’s and Gristedes. The new packs provide a more environmentally sustainable offering for consumers, compared to the average greens clamshell model, driving a 38% reduction of plastic while being made with post-consumer recycled content. “Continuously reducing Upward Farms’ carbon footprint is a top priority for us, and our new packaging marks a significant milestone in that journey,” says Jason Green, CEO and co-founder of Upward Farms. “Upward Farms’ new packaging is made using post-consumer recycled PET (rPET), one of the only recyclable plastics.”
