Delivering fresh with less

PackIt Fresh is simple, flexible and responsible.

Our Mission

My dedication to eliminating one-time-use packaging began when I subscribed to a meal-kit delivery service. Every delivery came with a corrugated box, a huge insulated blanket and two 6-pound gel packs. And guilt — guilt about the nose-deep trash heap that accumulated in my garage in just a couple of weeks. I started doing the math: If you multiply the number of meal kits delivered globally, by how much garbage each one creates, the number is catastrophic.

Keeping food fresh should not have to mean you end with a pile of trash. I’m familiar with some of the statistics, and I realized I was part of the problem. I couldn’t stop thinking about the waste of it all and where the corrugate, gel packs and insulation would end up. Landfill, ocean, water supply? Yikes!

It became obvious the industry needed change, and I knew I had a better way.
