Ocean’s Halo is further immersing itself into the new era of sustainability by acquiring the license to use BPI Certified Commercially Compostable pods from Smile Compostable Solutions® for its vegan quick-cup broths. Product innovation is core for the brand. This move augments Ocean Halo’s cause to reduce the use of plastic in its products, protecting oceans for future generations. Last year, the brand led the category by removing plastic tray packaging from its popular seaweed snacks.
Ocean’s Halo use of the pod allows the company to expand its product offerings into a new market without creating more plastic pollution. The pod is compatible with Keurig Brewers and meets or exceeds all state regulations. Ocean’s Halo is currently offering pods of its all-purpose No Chicken and No Beef Broths.
“Having a leader in the healthy snack category use our pod system to further its sustainability goals is an honor,” said CEO and Co-Founder Michael Sands. “Smile is looking forward to working with Ocean’s Halo further for other sustainable packaging initiatives.”
Ocean’s Halo is swimming against the tide to change how the world snacks. With a brand launch in 2014, the company is a fast-growing, Asian-inspired brand, committed to making the world a happier and healthier place. Its product lines of seaweed snacks, broth, noodles and sauces are all USDA-certified organic, non-GMO, vegan and gluten-free. Grounded in a commitment to sustainability and bettering the environment, Ocean’s Halo donates to ocean conservation initiatives via 1% of the Planet, an organization that inspires businesses and individuals to support the environment.
