Offering eco-friendly packaging to this customer group meets their expectation of using more annually renewable resources and removing potentially harmful chemicals from the food packaging industry.
Simple Feast, a California-based meal kit provider serving the Los Angeles area, has been using good natured® plant-based packaging for the last year with positive response from their customers. The values alignment between Simple Feast and good natured® to make life easier and better for humans and the planet led to a natural partnership between the two companies. “The importance of keeping food fresh needs to be balanced with earth-friendly packaging options that are also better for human health, and this is what good natured® packaging provides our customers,” said Paolo Zambrano, VP Operations (US) at Simple Feast.
North of the border, Canadian-based Vegano, delivers plant-based meal kits and grocery staples to the greater Vancouver area, Sea-to-Sky and Vancouver Island using sustainable packaging options from good natured®. “After a difficult search to find sustainable packaging, we were delighted to find good natured® this year.

Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured®, added “These are just two examples of meal kit providers we’ve partnered with to extend the focus on plant-based ingredients all the way through to their choice in packaging. Our team is consistently reviewing market trends to identify opportunities to work with like-minded partners who demand a strong focus on their health and our planet. We’re on a mission to detoxify the food industry, and we couldn’t be more pleased to be on this journey with customers like Simple Feast and Vegano.”
