Organix Solutions launches new venture for sustainable packaging

US-based residential and commercial organic material recovery systems provider Organix Solutions has introduced a new venture for sustainable packaging solutions. 2DegreesCooler has been founded as an extension of Organix Solutions.

It offers sustainable flexible packaging solutions using industry-specific biopolymer film. The solutions are targeted towards customers in food services and consumer packaged goods looking for alternatives to plastic that are both functional and affordable.

The venture integrates industry and technical expertise, supply chain partnerships, and CPG/Food brand relationships for material innovation.

By introducing fully recoverable packaging, the company expects to reduce carbon footprint in its operations.

Organix Solutions product development senior vice-president Stuart MacDonald said: “We have invested heavily in biopolymer solutions for organics waste collection and TUV-certified soil biodegradable mulch films, delivering positive economic benefits to both the waste and agriculture industries respectively.

“The 2DegreesCooler venture allows us to expand beyond residential co-collection and agriculture films into the next frontier of sustainability: consumer packaging. That includes food packaging, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and ecommerce shipping.”

Based in Minneapolis, Organix Solutions invested in biopolymer solutions for organics waste collection and TUV-certified soil biodegradable mulch films. In January last year, Organix Solutions collaborates with Pope Douglas Solid Waste Management to introduce organics recycling to rural Minnesota.
