    Clover Sonoma joins sustainable packaging initiative

    90 Percent Renewable Carton Packaging of Clover Sonoma Organic Lactose Free Milk
    Created with GIMP
    July 1, 2024

    The OSC Packaging Collaborative, an industry group founded by One Step Closer (OSC) to foster innovation and sustainability in packaging, has launched the 2024 “Pack Pact” campaign with the goal of promoting a circular economy in the natural products industry. By empowering brands, packaging manufacturers and consumers to take action, the “Pack Pact” is inspiring innovations in product packaging that minimize waste while raising consciousness about the environmental impact of our choices.

    Brands can join “Pack Pact” partners and sustainable packaging pioneers AE Global Packaging, Ancient Nutrition, Banyan Botanicals, Clover Sonoma, Mountain Rose Herbs, Nature’s Path Organic, and Traditional Medicinals by going to the Pack Pact website and pledging to commitments.

    Dairy brand Clover Sonoma has signed on to this initiative. "Joining the Pack Pact is one way we prioritize sustainability at Clover Sonoma. Innovation in dairy packaging is historically challenging — and expensive — given the refrigerated supply chain and the unique needs regarding fluids and moisture," said Susan Shields, vice president, marketing & innovation at Clover Sonoma. "However, Clover Sonoma is committed to doing what’s best for consumers and the planet, including launching the first fully renewable plant-based milk carton in the United States as part of our continued focus on sustainable packaging. Through various efforts, including launching the first post-consumer recycled (PCR) gallon milk jug in the United States, we've saved 340 thousand pounds of plastic annually."
