The company based in Toronto will be the first meat delivery service to introduce the advanced shipping material to Canada for its farm-to-door meat subscription boxes.
This new purchase will significantly increase Green Cell Foam’s current Canadian business and will expand the increasing numbers of direct-to-consumer food companies globally, who trust the wholly water-soluble shipping inserts for safe and long-lasting delivery of their products to their customers.
We created Green Cell Foam to be a completely biodegradable, limited-impact alternative to Styrofoam, plastic and other landfill-clogging materials commonly used in shipping. We’re proud of the work we do for partners who share our vision and are excited to expand in Canada with NIKU Farms, a mission-driven company with sustainability ingrained in all aspects of its business.
Tim Colonnese, CEO, KTM Industries
KTM Industries produces Green Cell Foam.
Green Cell Foam 101:
- Biodegradable, backyard compostable, and water-soluble
- A special natural, eco-friendly packaging material
- Production requires 70% less energy and generates 80% less greenhouse gases than petroleum-based foams
- Equals the performance of petroleum-based foams
- Biodegradable substitute made from non-GMO cornstarch
Food subscription boxes are rising in popularity, but often they create excessive plastic waste. By using Green Cell Foam packaging, high-quality, ethically raised meat can go straight to your door in a completely sustainable way. We encourage other Canadian companies to join us in switching to a more sustainable option like Green Cell Foam. With Canada poised to ban single-use plastics by 2021, the time is now.
