Compost tea goes greener with fitment pouches

Vermicrop Organics realizes cost and time savings by switching from rigid plastic bottles to gorgeously printed pouches for its compost tea product, Vermi T Solution.

Pw 44893 Vermicrop Organics Fitment Pouch By Flair

A specially blended compost tea for environmentally conscious gardeners is reaping the benefits of a switch to a greener, more cost-effective flexible packaging structure. According to John Perrino, co-founder and COO of Vermicrop Organics of Rockin, CA, the company switched to a spout-and-pouch combination, or fitment pouch, designed by Flair Flexible Packaging as a solution to a very expensive and labor-intensive distribution system.

“The garden shops that sell our VermiT Solution each have their own brewers so they can brew on-site. We used to have to send them our kits, which included the empty bottles in half- or whole-gallon sizes, for filling. We’d manually label each of the bottles in our warehouse. The time, the cost of warehousing empty bottles, and the shipping expense were unsustainable” Perrino says.
