Family-owned Sugar Bowl Bakery of Hayward, CA, has introduced compostable packaging for its organic product line. The company says the decision to use compostable packaging is a continuation of its strategy to have a positive impact on the environment.
“Sustainability is at the core of our business, and we are committed to making the company more efficient, serving our customers better, and making a difference in the environment,” says Andrew Ly, CEO of Sugar Bowl Bakery. “Creating compostable packaging has been a goal of ours for quite some time now, and I’m happy to say we have finally made our dreams a reality. We are hopeful that our recent innovations will encourage other brands in the industry to follow suit.”
The components of the new organic packaging are sourced locally when possible. For example, the recycled paperboard used for the carton is produced using the waste paper from local retailers within a 150-mile radius of the paperboard plant, which is just 30 miles south of Sugar Bowl Bakery’s plant. Each component of the package has been verified compostable, even the wrapper around the cakes and cookies, which is made from cellulose-based film from a proprietary supplier. The compostable packaging will debut with the bakery’s Organic Brownie Bites and Organic Madeleines.
