WATSONVILLE, CA – Sambrailo Packaging has partnered with California Certified Organic Farmer (CCOF) with a new promotion.

Through this partnership, Sambrailo will donate a portion of the sales of its recently launched Go Greener!™ clamshells that are generated through the CCOF web stores back to CCOF to support the Future Organic Farmer Grant Fund.  This promotion will run on the CCOF web store through December 31, 2014.

According to a press release, this fund aids kindergarten through eighth grade, high school, and vocational and higher education students in their journey to become organic farmers. 

As we previously reported, the Go Greener!™ clamshells are made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET extracted from clear and green beverage bottles. The bottles give the clamshells the green translucent color key to capturing the attention of organic consumers at the retail aisle.

“More than 33 million pounds of green plastic could be reused in one year,” states Sara Mailhot, Product Development Manager for Sambrailo Packaging. “This statistic is hypothetically based on all CCOF-certified organic strawberry growers in the U.S. and Mexico using the Go Greener! 1 lb. clamshells for one year, so the real potential could far exceed this number as sales grow and the product line increases.”   

The Go Greener! clamshells are currently available in the Mixim® Classic 1lb Friction-Lock, 1lb LV Button-Lock, and 6oz LV (5x5) sizes. Ideal for for strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, they can also be used for organic produce items. Recyclable film labels applied with a water-soluble adhesive are also available for these clamshells, letting growers double down on the sustainability theme.

It is always nice to see companies in the industry coming together for a good cause.
