CKF Inc. has announced the appointment of Produce Packaging as the exclusive distributor of Earthcycle™ in Wales, England and Scotland. Established in 1991, Produce Packaging has created a reputation for fast, efficient service, according to CKF. With distribution points in Kent, Lincolnshire, Herefordshire and Angus, Scotland, Produce Packaging said it offers next day delivery with their own fleet of trucks. “What initially attracted us to Produce Packaging were referrals from fresh produce packers and growers when we asked for names of the best distributors in the UK,” says Brad Dennis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for CKF. “We then quickly realized that Produce Packaging is a quality organization with a wide distribution network and deep connections to the grower and retailer communities”, adds Dennis.

CKF said its thermoformed moulded pulp line, Earthcycle™ meets the consumer demand for less plastic—the packaging is certified home compostable, is widely recyclable in the UK waste paper stream and is plastic free. Through extensive packing line trials, it has been found that the Earthcycle punnets match automation speeds of plastic punnets for de-nesting and offers a consistent and strong bond in top sealing system.

CKF further added that in shelf and transit trials, it has been shown that packaged in Earthcycle, produce stays fresher, longer. Made from a blend of virgin and wood pulp, Earthcycle is made with either FSC controlled or FSC certified wood sourced from “low risk” areas of Canada and the US, the company states. Transit times to Produce Packaging’s Lincolnshire and Kent warehouses from the CKF plant is 12 days.

“Produce Packaging is thrilled to be working with CKF and more specifically the Earthcycle range of packaging,” say Mark Tierney, Managing Director of Produce Packaging. “We see where the trends for reducing plastic in the packaging industry is going, and it is important for our company to be on the forefront of bringing innovation to our clients. We believe that the Earthcycle line is superior in its design, finish and quality and so offers our clients the ability to easily incorporate the packaging into existing automatic de-nesting, top seal and other packaging format lines.”
