Better for the Environment While Providing Consumers More to Munch in Each Single-Serving Bag!

Fairfield, NJ, June 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crispy Green Uses Food as a Force for Good™ on every level. From the quality of its product to its impact on the environment and everything in between. With a focus on sustainability in 2022, Crispy Green has updated the packaging design of its Crispy Fruit product line to reduce overall packaging materials and provide a new, recyclable material for its new multipack bag. The new packaging is now available online at www.crispygreen.com, and is starting to show up on retail shelves across the nation.

On Average 53% More Fruit in Each New Single-Serving Bag

Reducing the company’s overall packaging was a major initiative to become more sustainable. With that goal, the new single-serving bag now contains 53 percent more fruit on average. In addition to reducing the packaging to fruit ratio, it also provides consumers with a larger portion of their snack. Angela Liu, CEO and Founder of Crispy Green explained “Over the years, we've received many requests and comments from our customers that they love our product but wish there were a few more bites in each bag. This new single-serving bag is a true win-win for consumers and the environment!”

4-Pack is the New 6-Pack 

The single-size serving bag is not the only change. To reduce packaging materials even more, we have adjusted the multipack from 6-pack to 4-pack. The new 4-pack (containing 4 new-and-improved single-serving bags) has on average more fruit than the original 6-pack. But not only does this reduce packaging material, the new multipack bag is now recyclable, which is in line with Crispy Green’s focus on greater sustainability.

Investors seemingly can’t stop trying to pick a stock market bottom, no matter how bad the news—and it continues to backfire. Consider: This past Thursday, September’s consumer inflation report came in much hotter than expected, with the core CPI hitting a 40-year high. The initial response was exactly what you’d expect—the traded down as much as 2.4%—but then it started rallying…and rallying.

Investors were surprised by the big rally in the stock market on Thursday, but Friday brought another dose of reality and disappointment. After having posted monumental gains despite high readings on inflation, the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) closed at its worst level of the year, and the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) gave up most of their advances from earlier in the week.

In the midst of a bear market, with rising interest rates and the threat of a prolonged recession in the air, real estate investment trust (REIT) stocks have endured tremendous price declines.

Making investments pay out for the long term is the true challenge in today’s market environment. The series of headwinds piling up – from persistently high inflation to rising interest rates to slowing demand to bureaucratic bloat – are rising to hurricane force, and renewing investors’ attention to defensive stocks.
