Simple Times Mixers, a leading provider of clean-label ultra-premium mixers, has introduced fully curbside recyclable packaging as part of its commitment to sustainability and zero waste.
Simple Times has dedicated significant efforts to transitioning to its new sustainable packaging solution in the past year. This involves using recyclable corrugate material to replace foam packaging, resulting in all items in its shipping boxes being curbside recyclable across all fifty states in the US.
Furthermore, Simple Times operates a glass return and reuse program, enabling consumers and on-premise customers to return glass bottles. The brand also collaborates with distillers to repurpose food waste generated during fresh juicing. This waste, such as pineapple rinds and citrus rinds, is used as ingredients by distillers like Echo Spirits, Noble Cut Distillery, and Gervasi Vineyards to create fruit-infused spirits, such as Pineapple Rum.
