Opportunities in the Fresh & Natural Market

  • Eco-Friendly Packaging

    Packaging That Protects the Planet

    Perhaps no industry has higher expectations and demands for preserving the environment than produce. Beyond sustainable farming practices, the use of sustainable packaging becomes an extension of your brand, telling shoppers about your values and priorities.

    Sustainable PET Produce Containers

    • Use a minimum of 50% recycled content. In fact, 3 recycled water bottles (16.9oz) are used for the strawberry clamshells we make.
    • We also offer recyclable labels for our clamshell packages.
    • Our PET tray and lidding options can reduce your plastic content by a minimum of 20%. And food waste could be decreased by extending shelf-life through modified atmosphere technology.

Packaging Solutions to Reduce Food Waste

Sonoco FRESH

Each year, the food industry loses $15.6 billion due to food spoilage at retail. Modifying packaging design to extend shelf life by even one day could recover $1.8 billion of that loss—while feeding more people and reducing waste to landfills. Sonoco and Clemson University are partnering on the Sonoco FRESH (Food Research Excellence for Safety and Health) initiative, which will develop new technologies and new forms of packaging to optimize the fresh food lifecycle.
