Morning Kiss Organic sees increased demand for sustainable packaging

(Morning Kiss Organic)

Chelsea, Mass.-based Morning Kiss Organic will offer several organic citrus products in Bio-Able packaging that is 100% recyclable and degradable.

“We always look forward to California citrus season; our organic citrus is a natural way to add some color to cold and dreary New England winters,” Nelly Czajkowski, sales manager at Morning Kiss Organic, said in a news release. “And our new sustainable packaging option is one more way consumers can feel confident that our organic citrus is not only good for their families but for the planet as well.”

 While traditional plastics can take over 200 years to break down, the material fully breaks down within two years and bio-assimilates in both terrestrial and marine environments, according to a news release. The packaging contains no additives – a patent-pending manufacturing process allows plastic to shift from hydrophobic to hydrophilic two years after production. The release said private label opportunities are available.

DiSilva Fruit and Morning Kiss Organic are offer organic and conventional citrus, with current program offerings including navels, mandarins, grapefruit, lemons, and limes,in addition to specialty citrus items including heirloom navels, cara-cara navels, blood oranges, minneolas, stem and leaf murcotts, satsumas, golden nuggets, pummelos and melo golds.

DiSilva Fruit and Morning Kiss Organic are part of the Arrowfarms family of companies, headquartered in Massachusetts.
