A‑ROO Company is committed to finding ways of reducing our impact on the environment; in the ways we make and provide our packaging and reducing the impact that the packaging itself has on our earth have our highest regard and priority.

We initiated a GREEN Team in 2008 made up of a committed group of individuals from our company and representing a cross-section of job responsibilities and titles. Our production company, Western Reserve Sleeve, Inc., is represented as are procurement, creative services, sales and general management.

With this environmental commitment and having the most extensive range of standard and ready to ship film packaging in the floral industry includes many, many plain and unprinted packages – big and small, for a wide variety of floral applications ranging from Potted Plants to Fresh Flowers and virtually everything in between; this carries with it a responsibility and a tremendous opportunity. We are the very first floral packaging company to commit to imprinting all of our standard / stock products with proper recycling information – at no extra cost to our Customers.

This allows all users or Consumers to know exactly how to properly dispose of the package for the purpose of recycling and eventually re-using it again. An otherwise plain and unprinted package carrying this incredibly important identifier on it can reduce the impact on our environment by well over 4,000,000 pounds of plastic per year. Without this identifier – the opportunity is lost.

That reduction on our valued earth’s resources, along with the recycling opportunity and the ability to re-use makes a real difference, and is an act of responsibility that is part of the “A‑ROO difference” that all of us here and our customers can truly embrace.

A‑ROO Company is very proud of the fact that we are the ONLY North American Floral Packaging organization that is an OFFICIAL Co-Brand Partner with both Natureworks LLC®/ ingeo® the producer of PLA biopolymer resin and Plastic Suppliers, Inc., the producer of EarthFirst® PLA Film.

Our co-branding partnership gives us the most competitive prices in the market for branded PLA film and it is made by the most experienced maker of PLA Floral Packaging in the market – A‑ROO Company.
