What we like about ReadyCycle: They’re dedicated to plastic-free solutions for produce packaging, with a water-based coating that works to preserve freshness without wax.


Paperboard Trays

Made using up to 30% recycled content, with Food grade adhesives, vegetable-based inks, and water-based coating. Optimized for automated packaging operations in sheds or greenhouses.

  • These paper trays can be used for packing produce or takeout. They’re made from a thin corrugated board with options for fully customizable structural design and printing.

  • Produce packaging, especially things like berry baskets, are traditionally made from molded pulp or plastic. While molded pulp is made from renewable materials, it takes a hit when it comes to energy usage.

    These paperboard trays are designed for produce, without plastic or the high energy requirements of molded pulp.

    Paper is made from plants — a renewable resource. Most paper is made from trees. Trees sequester carbon, which is ultimately released back into the air at the paper's end of life when it biodegrades or is composted or incinerated.

    For more transparent sourcing, suppliers may source paper that has an FSC certification. The paper and forest industry created FSC certifications to set standards like stricter restrictions on clear cuts and pesticide use.

  • The best afterlife for most paper products — from collateral to boxes — is recycling. Most paper fibers can be recycled more than five times. Paper with tape or stickers can still be recycled, because non-paper materials are sifted out in the recycling process.

    ReadyCycle’s claims that their paperboard packaging is certified for home composting.

    Their water-based coating does not affect recyclability or compostability.

  • ReadyCycle’s products are designed to be fully customizable, from structure to print.
