Highline Mushrooms continues its commitment to sustainability with the rollout of clear PET tills. The movement showcases the grower-shipper’s commitment to making a positive impact on the environment. The PET tills are 100 percent recyclable, resulting in a circular economy of closed-loop recycling, reduction of carbon footprint and moving toward reducing virgin materials.
Clear tills of mushrooms will be packed on Highline farms across Canada this week under the company’s brand and will be on retail shelves in the coming days. Consumers will have full visibility of the mushrooms in the pack and will be able to see the quality of the product.

“This significant step towards sustainability wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our incredible associates. I am immensely proud of their commitment to our vision and their efforts behind the scenes to make this transition a reality,” said Jose Cambon, CEO.
Sustainable packaging is another chapter in the overall mushroom sustainability story. From the use of agricultural byproducts, the requirement of only six liters of water per pound to grow and the 3 million lbs of mushrooms grown per acre/per annum, this is the next step for fungi. The goal is to increase mushroom consumption across North America and deliver hyper-freshness to consumers for every eating occasion.
Visit Highline Mushrooms at the Global Floral and Produce Show in Anaheim, California October 19-21. Members of the team will be on the show floor at booth #2850.
