Boutique coffee label Dark Woods Coffee has teamed up with Parkside, a sustainable packaging company specializing in compostable bags, to install a commercial composter at Dark Woods roasters as well as improve its packaging designs. The new Dark Woods packaging will also be completely compostable and will be the first sustainable solution to be rolled out by the new partnership.
"Park2Nature is a 100% compostable solution. It delivers the performance Dark Woods needed, and it can do the same for any food or beverage product. For example, formats are available where gas flushing is required, making it also an ideal solution for other applications, such as fresh or cooked meat and fresh produce packaging," said Paul McKeown, speciality sales director at Parkside.
