With its Organic Sea Salt & Herb bite-size potatoes in a revolutionary sustainable fiber tray, Tasteful Selections, a specialty potato brand from RPE LLC, maintains its position at the cutting edge of innovation. This eco-friendly fiber tray will be incorporated into the entire range of micro-trays later this year.

“Our packaging solution serves as a remarkable alternative to the current micro tray made from plastic. It is not only compostable and recyclable but also oven-safe and microwaveable, ensuring optimal convenience for consumers. The inclusion of a removable liner enhances the structure of the packaging while making cleanup a breeze. To further emphasize our commitment to eco-friendliness, the fiber used in the packaging is recyclable alongside paper once the film is effortlessly peeled off using the eco-peel tab. It is a truly recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable material,” Rachel Atkinson-Leach, vice president of brand and category excellence for RPE, said, cited by The Produce News.

The tray is made of a combination of bamboo and bagasse fibers, both of which are PFAS-free, ensuring the absence of dangerous compounds. By implementing this environmentally friendly packaging option, the business will help to significantly reduce the annual production of 209 tons of plastic garbage.
