EDBLW Edible Garden AG Inc

Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), locally grown, organic, and sustainable produce and products, today announced the full-scale rollout of its curb-side recyclable pot across its retail distribution network. This innovative packaging, initially introduced at Walmart, reduced overall CO2 emissions by 11,803 metric tons in the Company’s Walmart’s Project Gigaton Reporting and is now expanding to all retailers carrying Edible Garden’s signature herbs.

"At Edible Garden, sustainability is more than just a goal—it is a core principle that guides everything we do," said Jim Kras, CEO of Edible Garden. "The introduction of our curb-side recyclable pot marks a significant milestone in our commitment to environmental responsibility. Initially introduced at Walmart, this innovative packaging has already contributed to reduced overall CO2 emissions by 11,803 metric tons in the Company’s Walmart Project Gigaton Reporting, demonstrating the measurable impact of sustainable solutions at scale. 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.”

"This initiative strengthens our leadership in sustainable packaging within the CEA sector and underscores our commitment to the 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. We take pride in aligning with the values of today’s environmentally conscious consumers, reinforcing our mission for a healthier, more sustainable future," concluded Mr. Kras.
