Edible Garden rolls out Zero-Waste Inspired curbside sustainable pots

Edible Garden says it is conducting a full-scale rollout of its curbside recyclable pot across its retail distribution network.

This packaging, initially introduced at Walmart, reduced overall carbon dioxide emissions by 11,803 metric tons in the retailer’s Project Gigaton reporting, and it is now expanding to all retailers carrying Edible Garden’s signature herbs, according to a news release.

"At Edible Garden, sustainability is more than just a goal — it is a core principle that guides everything we do," said Edible Garden CEO Jim Kras. "The introduction of our curbside recyclable pot marks a significant milestone in our commitment to environmental responsibility.

"By ensuring that all take-home customer packaging can be recycled through most curb-side collection programs, we are taking a meaningful step toward reducing waste and minimizing our ecological footprint," he added.

Kras said the initiative strengthens the company's position in sustainable packaging within the controlled environment agriulture sector and underscores its commitment to a zero-waste-inspired mission.

"By driving sustainability forward while maintaining the quality and freshness of our products, we provide consumers with an eco-friendly choice and support our retail partners — like Walmart — in meeting their sustainability goals," Kras said. "We take pride in aligning with the values of today’s environmentally conscious consumers, reinforcing our mission for a healthier, more sustainable future."
