MegaFood’s products will now be made using post-consumer recycled materials and have an official ‘How2Recycle’ label to provide recycling instructions.

“This is a first step for us to make an impact while we also work on addressing the bigger challenges like stopping the creation of fossil-based plastics, single-use culture, and limited end-of-life solutions.”

After receiving this certification, the two entities will now work in close coordination to eliminate nearly 450,000lb of plastic waste.

This amount of waste, if not removed, will continue to stay in nature and damage the environment consequently.

CEO and co-founder of rePurpose Svanika Balasubrumanian said: “Our partnership with MegaFood represents a shared commitment to creating a better future for our planet. We are inspired by their dedication to sustainability and commitment to financing the recovery of verified nature-bound plastic waste.”

Along the same lines, MegaFood has also established a “cross-functional packaging committee” for developing and testing more sustainable packaging solutions to achieve the brand’s sustainable goals by 2025, the CEO added.
