KISSIMMEE, Fla., July 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CREO Group, a leader in
innovative and sustainable packaging solutions, proudly announces
significant strides in its commitment to sustainability with the
introduction of Asili and AgaveGrow, two new bio-based products,
and the rebranding of its revolutionary 3D systems to Forever
Forward systems. This multifaceted initiative reaffirms CREO
Group's dedication to eco-friendly practices and forward-thinking
innovations.
CREO Group launches Asili and AgaveGrow
bio-based products and rebrands 3D to Forever Forward, boosting
sustainability.
A Legacy of Sustainability
For over 70 years, CREO Group has been at the forefront of
sustainable packaging. The company's products are 100% recyclable
and contain an average of 63% recycled material.
CREO is dedicated to making every solution it creates a
sustainable one, ensuring that any product you choose from CREO
Group supports your environmental and overall business goals.
Introducing Asili: The Future of Sustainable
Containers
Asili represents an exciting innovation in sustainable
greenhouse containers. Asili contains more than 70% bio-based
material without compromising performance, strength, or
flexibility. Fully colorable and printable, these thermoformed
containers resist mold and discoloration, and break down naturally
over time. They are made from industrially compostable material.
CREO Group has committed to further versions of the Asili product
in 2025 for customers who desire a home compostable option.
Introducing AgaveGrow: A Bio-Based Innovation for Injection
Molded Nursery Containers
AgaveGrow is engineered from a blend of bio-based resin and
recycled resins. The agave is a byproduct of the tequila-making
process and is used to displace a portion of a container's plastics
with a bio-based alternative, reducing fossil-fuel-based plastics
and CO2 emissions. These containers are strong,
automation-ready, and seamlessly integrate into existing commercial
nursery processes. AgaveGrow is 100% recyclable, offering an
affordable and eco-friendly alternative that performs like
traditional plastic containers.
Rebranding 3D Systems to Forever Forward
The name shift from 3D to Forever Forward not only reflects
CREO's dedication to ongoing innovation and sustainability but also
emphasizes this unique pot's forward-facing, brand-boosting
feature.
- Ship More. Save More. Sell More.
- Packs up to 60% more product in the same space compared to
competitive pots and trays, leading to significant freight
savings.
- Easy to Pot. Easy to Spot.
- Unique design ensures labels always face out, making it easy
for customers to spot your brand and product, enhancing visibility
and boosting sales.
- More Sizes for More Products.
- Offers a range of sizes from 1 pint to 2.5 quarts, providing
space and freight savings across your entire product line.
CREO understands that growers need eco-friendly options that do
not disrupt their existing processes. The Forever Forward system is
designed to be both cost-effective and easy to integrate, ensuring
a seamless transition to more sustainable practices.
Their goal is to make sustainability accessible for everyone and
have taken extra steps to give all growers their ideal container
option – by making Forever Forward available in 100% recyclable
polypropylene or in one of their new bio-based materials for
increased planet-positive impact.
Commitment to Forward Motion in Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of CREO's values. They are paving
the way in the use of recycled materials in their products and look
forward to continuing their sustainable innovations to positively
impact the industry and the planet.
