Before the packaging reduction, Applegate Farms' products, such as their Uncured Sunday Bacon, featured more than enough plastic wrap.
Applegate Farms reduced its plastic packaging by 37%.
May 21, 2013
Applegate Farms shrunk its packaging, but not its bacon.
The Bridgewater, N.J.-based processor of organic and natural meats reduced its plastic packaging by 37% by cutting down on the size and weight of the plastic.
For example, its Uncured Sunday Bacon (as pictured) still comes in an 8-ounce package, but now dons less plastic wrapping.
