Picture a world where the packaging of your everyday products doesn’t end up in a landfill, turning into mountains of plastic waste. Where every bag, bottle, and container we use instead contributes to nourishing the earth rather than poisoning it.
This may sound like a far-off future, a dream even, but at PlantFusion we believe it to be imperative. As pioneers in the plant-based supplement industry, we strive to continue to push boundaries and set new standards in this business.. with our latest innovation being the world’s first 100% compostable packaging option for organic plant-protein. This is only the beginning.
The Plastic Problem: Why We Need To Change Our Ways
Plastic waste statistics are alarming. Each year, an estimated 8 million tons of plastic enter our oceans and by the time we reach 2050, it’s hypothesized that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Plastic… known for being convenient and durable, but equally as destructive to our environment. We as a society have relied upon this packaging option for decades and though it has proved to be handy, we now are witnessing the real damage it causes.
Our Oceans Turning into Landfills
More so than the landfills that are reaching capacity with discarded plastic, our oceans are plagued with microplastics which pollute our aquatic ecosystems, and our food chain polluting our bodies. Along with marine life, we are also the ones consuming microplastics, as it makes its way into our drinking water and the food we eat…our bodies now act as landfills for this dangerous substance. Should this path persevere, it is plausible that even worse consequences for both our health and the planet could arise.
Our Response: The Introduction of PlantFusion’s Compostable Packaging
The environmental cost of traditional plastic packaging in the supplement industry was something we just couldn't ignore at PlantFusion. That inspired us to become the first in our category to do something about this by launching BPI® certified 100% compostable bags. This is our first step in changing the way we package & use products.
These compostable bags are made using paper and plant-based materials, eventually breaking down into completely organic matter that improves the soil rather than polluting it. This revolutionary packing is certified for home and industrial composting and is also Lomi™ approved. Now, you can finally consume the cleanest plant-based nutrition without feeling guilty for using plastics.
Digging a Little Deeper: The Secret Toll Plastic Takes on Our Health
We all know about plastic and the current environmental crisis, but we often ignore how it affects our health. Microplastics have been detected in human blood, lungs, and digestive systems. Although research on the chronic health effects of absorbing microplastics is still in its infancy, initial findings relate to respiratory diseases, hormone imbalances, and even cancer.
The plastic problem here is not a case of environment vs. humans, it is simply human on both sides. This is why reducing plastic use isn't just about saving the planet, it's also a way of ensuring our own health and that of future generations.
The Solution: A Mission Beyond Plastic
For the PlantFusion family, compostable packaging is just one piece to a larger mission around sustainability & responsibility. Our commitment is to tackle the plastic crisis head-on, taking it step by step to reduce our environmental impact by minimizing or eliminating non-recyclable materials.
But compostable packaging by itself won’t solve the problem in it’s entirety. We need to change the behavior of consumers and make it simple for people to choose greener products. This is why we call on all supplement companies and consumers to do the same. Now, picture it this way: what if every company had sustainable choices? Together, we can push the industry towards a future without plastic.
More than Just Compostable Packaging
Our compostable packaging is currently available in our USDA-certified Organic Plant-Protein Powder and features 18 grams of plant-based protein and a blend of fermented fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms. Available in rich chocolate and creamy vanilla, this plant protein powder is perfect for smoothies, shakes, baked goods and more.
However, our ambitions don’t stop there. PlantFusion is dedicated to developing more sustainable innovations across our product line. We are on a journey to reduce our plastic usage, develop sustainable items, and improve the health of our planet and future generations.
