VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 28, 2021 /CNW/ - good natured Products Inc.
(the "Company" or "good natured®") (TSX-V: GDNP),
a North American leader in earth-friendly plant-based products and
Jones Healthcare Group ("Jones"), a market leader in advanced
packaging and medication dispensing solutions, today announced a
new partnership focused on expanding sustainable packaging
solutions. Jones' blister packaging products will now be made
with good natured® Bio-PET, a food-safe, curbside
recyclable bioplastic. This new plant-based solution allows Jones
to optimize its package design, removes chemicals of concern and
ensures its packaging is readily recyclable in most households
across North America. This new
custom designed blister packaging will be available through
independent and national pharmacy chains throughout Canada.
With the price of petroleum-based plastics rising rapidly, the
decision to make the switch to plant-based packaging is even more
easy and affordable for companies like Jones, who focus on circular
design for their products and services.
Now, more than ever, consumers are concerned about waste,
plastic pollution, and depletion of natural resources. They seek
out brands who use packaging that's minimal yet protective,
recyclable, reusable and made from renewable and/or recycled
materials. The 2021 Global Buying Green Report found that 67%
of consumers want products they purchase to be sustainably packaged
in recyclable materials. The study also found that over half (54%)
of respondents consider the packaging when choosing products, and
that younger consumers (ages 44 and under) are leading the charge
in the demand for more sustainable options.
"Together with good natured®, we are transforming
medication adherence packaging into a more sustainable offering
with Bio-PET", says Trevor Noye,
Senior VP of Medication Adherence. "Jones embraces our
responsibility for impact on the environment, communities and
consumers – and we're committed to continuous improvement in
sustainable packaging and development, while creating value for all
of our stakeholders."
good natured® CEO, Paul Antoniadis adds "We
offer choices for our customers when they choose plant-based
packaging, depending on whether a compostable or recyclable design
best suits the life cycle of their products. We're focused on
helping many industries embrace sustainable, plant-based packaging
innovations that meet their business and sustainability objectives.
We do this by reimagining materials, design, supply chain and
availability of plant-based packaging that safeguards personal
health and the health of our environment."
good natured® will be exhibiting at the
Healthcare Pack Expo at the Las
Vegas Convention Centre, Lower South Hall from September 27 to 29, 2021, join us at booth #6727A
to experience our packaging options including this sustainable pill
blister packaging.
