Single use plastic is a major contributor towards mass pollution and global warming.

40% of the plastic produced is for packaging.

Plastic takes hundreds of years to break up into micro plastics - micro plastics have detrimental impacts on both sea and human life.

These are just some pieces of information that exemplify the need for a sustainable alternative to plastic packaging. Right now in the US, there is a lack of sustainable packaging options in the snack industry. Rooted Living is going to change that.

Here is some info about our packaging!
