Bolthouse Fresh Foods has earned the Best Sustainable Packaging Award at the 2024 IFPA Global Produce & Floral Show. The compostable packaging will debut in November at Meijer with one- and two-lb Bolthouse Fresh baby carrots and broaden to organic products in 2025.

The company's compostable packaging is made from renewable canola and breaks down using standard home composting practices. It is also TUV Certified, signaling thorough safety, quality, and sustainability testing.

Each package will feature a QR code with tips for effective composting, making it easy for consumers to engage in sustainable practices at home.

"Our mission is to provide fresh, nutritious produce that people can trust," said Karen White, vice president of marketing at Bolthouse Fresh Foods. "The launch of our compostable packaging is a natural extension of that mission, offering solutions that not only meet the needs of our customers but also support a healthier planet."
