Perdue Farms will use a non-GMO, cornstarch-based insulated packing material for shipments of food products through the E-Commerce platform. The Green Cell Foam supplied by KTM Industries is compostable and biodegradable and dissolves in water.
According to David Zucker, Senior Vice-president for E-Commerce and New Ventures, the cornstarch-derived product replaces Styrofoam as an insulation lining standard USDA-approved cardboard cartons to ship food items.
