Greenyard USA/Seald Sweet unveils new label with recyclable packaging

Greenyard USA/Seald Sweet has introduced a new sustainable label for its clementine line.

“This new label features our brand and highlights our [more than] 110 years of citrus heritage with an eye-catching design,” Gray Vinson, commodity manager, said in a news release.

“The most interesting thing of this new label will be that it is introduced on fully recyclable packaging,” Helena Fernandez, marketing coordinator, said in the release. “As part of our sustainable journey and as a global leader in the industry, we are committed to [using] 100% recyclable packing by 2025.”

The new film and net are both made out of high-density polyethylene, a type of plastic that can be recycled through store drop-off bins, the release said. The new label can be found in stores during the months of July through November in 2- and 3-pound formats, according to the release.

“Seald Sweet was born as a Florida Citrus cooperative in 1909 and has been growing, packing, distributing and selling fresh produce since then,”  Mayda Sotomayor, president and CEO of Seald Sweet, said in the release. “Growing from citrus, to importing a wide variety of products, we have continued to remain a leader in this evolving industry. Be on the lookout for more exciting things coming from us this year.”
