Chrysal Launches Recyclable PP Sachets and Bio-Based Flower Food in the Americas: A Milestone in Sustainability

Chrysal, a global leader in flower care solutions, proudly introduces recyclable PP (#5 polypropylene) packaging with bio-based flower food across the Americas. This innovation underscores Chrysal’s commitment to advancing sustainability and reducing its environmental footprint.

Why PP Sachets and Bio-Based Flower Food Matters

Chrysal’s recyclable PP sachets, made from #5 plastic, offer a practical and innovative solution compared to traditional sachets, which often rely on #7 plastics. Designed with recyclable materials, these sachets reflect Chrysal’s dedication to introducing more responsible packaging options in the floral supply chain. When paired with bio-based flower food formulas, these sachets represent a meaningful step toward aligning product performance with evolving sustainability goals in the floral industry. Together, they enable customers to support responsible floral care while contributing to broader environmental objectives.

Scott Blumenthal, President of Chrysal North America, shared his enthusiasm for the company’s mission:

“At Chrysal, sustainability is central to everything we do. We are committed not only to reducing our carbon footprint but also to making a positive impact on the entire floral industry and the planet. We believe in driving change and making sustainability a reality—ensuring the beauty of flowers can be enjoyed responsibly for generations to come.”
