As part of its mission to be a sustainability leader in the restaurant space, Clover Sonoma recently launched a post-consumer recycled (PCR) gallon milk jug. By 2025, the company plans to expand PCR content use across all Clover Sonoma gallon milk jugs, starting with its organic gallon milk line that boasts a 30 percent PCR content. A closed-loop recycling system based on PCR ensures that no new plastic is created or destroyed, but that the plastic is re-used for its intended purpose.
Kristel Corson, Chief Revenue Office, commented on the new launch, stating: “To reach our sustainability goals, packaging innovation is a priority for us as a company. Finding sustainable solutions means taking risks and investing in what’s best for the planet. We are focused on improving our packaging across product lines using reusable, recyclable, renewable, and environmentally conscious resources. We encourage the food industry to join us in this effort.”
