SUSTAINABILITY
Most of what you see and hear about sustainability are things that you, the consumer, can do. Here at Frozen Garden, we feel that eco-friendly and sustainable practices should start at the source…with businesses. We are constantly striving to improve our packaging and methods within Frozen Garden for maximum sustainability while ensuring that our customers still receive the highest quality products. Check out some of the current ways we are striving towards a more eco-friendly planet.
Food Scraps and Waste
We donate 100% of our scraps/waste to Great Inspirations Farm for composting which reduces landfill waste and incineration, and therefore emissions. Great Inspirations Farm uses this compost to feed the soil that grows the kale, spinach, cucumbers (and more!) that we use in our products.
Partnering with Local Farmers
We partner with local farmers who deliver our produce to us in reusable containers so there is no wasteful packaging. Like, real farmers...that's Dan & Julie from Perkins Good Earth Farm in Demotte, Indiana. Plus, we aren’t adding to the air pollution by having our ingredients hauled across the country to us.
Eco Friendly Shipping Materials
We’re committed to using environmentally conscious and sustainable shipping methods, which is why we use insulated liners that are made from plants (corn starch). When you dispose of the insulated liner, the inner liner material will break down and compost over time. Or, you can run water on the liner in the kitchen sink and it will dissolve. The cardboard box is 100% curbside recyclable.
Locally Manufactured BPA Free Packaging
Our new Garden Bowls are packaged in pouches that contain 30% post-consumer recycled material. That means what you are putting in your recycling bin is making its way into new packaging! Our packaging supplier manufactures these pouches in Chicago (just down the road from Frozen Garden) and they ship flat thus requiring less shipping space. Our packaging is BPA-free and can be recycled in some residential recycling programs.
