As a brand that takes pride in producing fruits and vegetables that are sustainable and organic, Nature & More's commitment can be seen through to its choices of produce packages.
This brand is one of the first to put sustainable packaging derived from sugar cane into practice on a large scale. With a composition that's made of waste material that's free of GMO and plastic ingredients, the eco-friendly material has a striking resemblance to cardboard and it is completely compostable after use.
So far, Nature & More is selling its organic tomatoes, pears and physalis in this sugar cane-derived packaging. As well as doing away with labels and stickers on produce, the bottoms of these trays provide details to connect consumers to the origins of the food.
