Green Packaging

Our efforts to reduce our impact on the Earth

It's Not Easy Being Green

For food businesses, green packaging is a major challenge. Packaging for food must maintain freshness and resist spoilage, which leads our industry to be a major contributor of plastic waste. We are well aware of the environmental impact we are creating. We've experimented with corn-based and wood-pulp based plastic alternatives, but we found problems with shelf life, recyclability, and durability. We'll keep trying.

BPA-Free Plastic Alternatives

The dangers of Bisphenol A (also known as "BPA") are now well documented, and starting to be regulated. Liz Lovely is committed to using BPA-Free plastic packaging. Our current materials includes #1 PETE containers, and #5 PP packaging film.
