Bulk organic snacks get green PLA retail pack

For its bulk line of five Organic Acres brand dried fruit and nut blends, Tropical Foods, Charlotte, NC, has launched a corn-based plastic container that brand manager Chad Hartman says “is a logical fit with the organic product.”

Pw 3424 Tropical Foods

The square container with resealable lid is made from polylactic acid and is supplied by Wilkinson Industries. The clear plastic package holds anywhere from 3 to 6 oz of product, depending upon nut and fruit ingredients. A green petroleum based-plastic shrink band around the lid is printed with the word “organic” to convey the product’s natural origins.
