The PlantCarton™ packages with RenewablePlus™ paperboard by Evergreen Packaging utilize the latest in plant-based paperboard technology and incorporate a renewable coating made with polyethylene created from sugarcane.  As a result, these cartons are made with approximately 97% renewable material, which includes, in addition to polyethylene made from sugarcane, paper made from trees grown in forests where responsible forestry practices are used. And PlantCarton packages are recyclable.

“As a company, we continuously look for innovative approaches to reaching sustainability goals, and packaging is an important part of that," says Kristel Corson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Clover Sonoma. "We are the first dairy to switch to Evergreen Packaging’s fully renewable plant-based milk carton, and we chose the RenewablePlus cartons because they support responsible forest management while utilizing less plastic, encouraging recycling, and decreasing the use of fossil fuels."
