Califia Farms Converts All North American Bottles to 100% Recycled Plastic
Packaging change across the U.S. and Canada expected to reduce brand's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 19%. and cut energy use in half.
Califia Farms, a leading, premium, plant-based beverage brand, announced that it has transitioned all of its bottles in the U.S. and Canada to 100% recycled plastic (rPET), a move that will help reduce the company's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 19% and cut its energy use in half. The packaging update impacts the brand's broad portfolio of refrigerated plant milks, creamers, coffees and tea. The switch reflects Califia's ongoing commitment to a cleaner, healthier planet and its efforts to curb demand for new plastic.
"This transition to 100% rPET represents a significant commitment to soften Califia's environmental footprint," said Dave Ritterbush, chief executive officer at Califia Farms. "While Califia is an inherently sustainable business thanks to the plant-based products we produce, we recognize the importance of ongoing, forward progress in our sustainability journey. By moving to 100% rPET for our iconic curvy bottle, we're taking a major step in reducing our reliance on virgin plastic and advancing the principles of a circular economy."
