The Ugly Company
2 years ago
The plastic packaging seems like it harms the environment more than the wasted dried fruit would. The packaging is recyclable, but only 9% of things that put in the recycling bin actually end up recycled, so I don't think it is worth the food waste savings to produce more plastic. The food waste can decompose, the plastic can't. Additionally, while they do taste as good as typical dried fruit, it isn't worth the price. They have less product and cost more than typical dried fruit. Typically with defective product or things that simply don't look as nice (like the discount fruit bin at most supermarkets) the price goes down. This brand has increased the price. Overall, I don't think this product is very good for the environment or your wallet, and would not recommend it.
