Environmental Commitment

A ROO Company's environmental commitment.

Our environmental commitment impacts the most extensive range of standard and ready-to-ship film packaging in the Floral industry, which includes many plain and unprinted packages – big and small, for a wide variety of Floral applications ranging from Pot 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 Stock Standard Products with useful recycling information – at no extra cost to our Customers.

This is an act of responsibility that is part of the
'A-ROO difference' that all of us and our customers can embrace. This allows all users or consumers to know how to dispose of the package for recycling correctly. An otherwise plain and unprinted package carrying this important identifier on it can reduce the impact on our environment by over 4,000,000 pounds of plastic annually. 

Without this identifier – the opportunity is lost. Our business model includes a firm belief in personal contact and service. We are dedicated to continually observing, listening, and seeking new means of packaging that make a difference in enhancing our Customer’s success.

Going Forward

We search the entire planet for the newest material compositions and fashions that can bring value to our Customers and their products. We believe in and practice fair and honest business. We firmly believe that all our relationships are unique and deserve our attention, care, and appreciation. This is the Company that we are and the one you can expect.

Thank you,
Scott Gilbert
