Earthcycle, a developer of certified compostable and renewable packaging, has entered an Australian and New Zealand distribution partnership with J-Tech Systems, a manufacturer of self-adhesive produce labels.
J-Tech Systems commenced its introduction of Earthcycle Packaging to the Australian public at the Sydney Organic Expo, in Sydney last month.
Shannon Boase, president and founder of Earthcycle says, “Earthcycle is thrilled to partner with J-Tech Systems, a seasoned and professional distribution company with roots in the Australian and New Zealand markets.”
He says, “With J-Tech’s extensive expertise in the horticultural industry, this gives Earthcycle additional momentum in our quest to educate consumers about sustainable packaging options.”
Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Earthcycle packaging is made from a renewable resource called palm fiber, a natural waste product discarded when the palm fruit is harvested for its oil.
Earthcycle’s certified home compostable packaging complies with US FDA requirements for contact with food, turning it into a healthy, productive humus for the soil in less than 90 days.
The raw fiber used in production for Earthcycle is sourced from palm plantations in West Malaysia that have been reviewed against principles and criteria established by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
Stuart Abbott, general manager of J-Tech Systems says, “We pride ourselves on our ability to continually provide consumers with innovative packaging solutions, and Earthcycle is a perfect complement to our business goals.”
Abbott adds, “We are wholly committed to helping Earthcycle grow their business and reach new customers throughout Australia and New Zealand.”
