Organic Food Packaged in Plastic Containers Don't Mix
by mdsassociatesThe USDA claims the demand for organically produced goods has seen a double-digit growth and can be found in nearly 3 out of 4 conventional grocery and chain stores. This translates to more companies incorporating organic and all-natural food items into their product line offerings.
What was once reserved only for the specialty health food stores, organic food brands are now intermingled on most supermarket shelves. To differentiate themselves, organic foods producers not only have to compete with other organic products, but also with non-organic food products on the market. This means marketing strategies that showcase organic goods not simply as food, but as a way of improving personal health, lifestyle and one of the very best ways to reduce exposure to toxic chemicals.
Organic foods appeal to a niche market that is concerned about the environment, nutrition and good health. For this reason, the packaging for organic food really needs to be environmentally friendly and sustainable, while at the same time not so expensive that it impacts the company's profit making abilities. Along with these criteria, the packaging itself also needs to keep food safe, prevent contamination and free from leaching chemicals. This is where our Vegware line of 100% Compostable Food Containers and Packaging can help differentiate a brand, capture sales and gain confidence!
