Snack Packaging for Freshness and the Planet? Rootree Explains How

Ever wish your favorite snacks came in packaging that was a little greener?

Rootree is helping food and snack brands explore more sustainable packaging solutions while still protecting freshness, performance and shelf life.

At Sweets & Snacks Expo 2026, Seeing Green spoke with Rootree about the realities of sustainable packaging, the growing interest from brands in recyclable and compostable materials and why packaging remains one of the most important — and challenging — parts of creating a food product.

The conversation explores flexible packaging, compostable materials, recyclable options, consumer demand for greener packaging and how brands are balancing sustainability goals with product quality and cost considerations.

Rootree also shares how consumers can encourage their favorite brands to explore more sustainable packaging options and discusses initiatives designed to help emerging brands access greener packaging solutions.
