Lady Fortunes Gourmet Cookie Company Unveils Green Packaging

Lady Fortunes Gourmet Cookie Company has discontinued the use of traditional packaging solutions such as Styrofoam coolers, blue gel ice packs, packing peanuts and bubble wrap in lieu of more environmentally friendly products.

The manufacturer of gourmet cookies, confections and gifts rolled out its 2012 Summer Shipping Program with the introduction of GreenLiners, a product that provides extreme protection from heat and allows the shipping of chocolate products to even the hottest areas in the country without having to pay for Priority Next Day Air Shipping. The GreenLiners are made of 100 percent recycled materials, and are themselves 100 percent recyclable.

Lady Fortunes also replaced Bubble Wrap and Packing Peanuts with PadPak from the Ranpac Corporation. Ranpac is made from100 percent recycled materials and offer an ideal packaging solution in shipping gourmet gifts.

"We are so proud to be taking this next step towards helping our environment,” said CEO and Founder Daria Artem, "We take great pride in doing what we can at home and in our business in helping to have a positive impact on our environment."

Lady Fortunes plans to inform customers of its “green" push by joining B Corporation, a non- profit organization dedicated to using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. More than 450 leading businesses have joined the community of Certified B Corporations.
