June 28, 2023 – Last week, CKF Inc. unveiled a new production line for their certified home compostable and recyclable food packaging, Earthcycle, at the Langley B.C. factory.

According to a press release, “Earthcycle services growers, packers, and retail customers with FSC-certified, home-compostable, and widely recyclable packaging for the fresh fruit and vegetable markets.”

The new production line will create 20 new full-time jobs at the Langley factory, which currently employs 325 of the company’s 1100 employees at eight plants, six of which are in Canada.

The west coast Canadian production, which uses the latest servo-actuation technology, combined with the original Earthcycle production facilities located in Hantsport, N.S., makes CKF the largest thermoformed molded pulp manufacturer for the fruit and vegetable packaging market across the globe.
