Sustainable packaging
At Perfect Flavor, we are trying to build a sustainable business. We make organic ice cream. We make ice cream from local ingredients. We’re paying a living wage to our employees, and providing health care benefits for part-timers. But, this is absolutely brand new ground for me, and for Lynsie - not only in the sense of starting a new business, which is always a leap into the unknown - but even moreso because of our committment to making this a green business.
One aspect of the business Lynsie has spent alot of time on is developing our packaging to be environmentally friendly. We’ve looked hard at using PLA, a new plastic-like substance that’s made from corn and which is biodegradable. For anyone else out there walking the same path, check out this article at WorldChanging.
