Earthcycle, an innovative and award-winning developer of certified compostable and renewable packaging, is pleased to announce its Australian and New Zealand distribution partnership with J-Tech Systems Pty Ltd.
J-Tech Systems is a leading manufacturer of self-adhesive produce labels.
The company recently commenced its introduction of Earthcycle Packaging to the Australian public at the Sydney Organic Expo in July.
“Earthcycle is thrilled to partner with J-Tech Systems, a seasoned and professional distribution company with roots in the Australian and New Zealand markets,” says Shannon Boase, President and Founder of Earthcycle.
“With J-Tech’s extensive expertise in the horticultural industry, Earthcycle will gain additional momentum in its 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).
Based on the above, Earthcycle’s sources of raw material have not replaced any primary forest nor converted any Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) for the purpose of palm oil production.
“We pride ourselves on our ability to continually provide consumers with innovative packaging solutions, and Earthcycle is a perfect complement to our business goals,” says Stuart Abbott, General Manager of J-Tech Systems Pty Ltd.
“We are wholly committed to helping Earthcycle grow their business and reach new customers throughout Australia and New Zealand.”
