“I love celery juice in the morning because it curbs my appetite for the day. The taste is just as good as when I make my own without the hassle, so Raw Generation saves time and avoids the home juicer clean up!”
“I appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback. I really enjoyed the taste of the celery juices, but I was appalled by the unsustainable packaging. The use of styrofoam is one of the worst forms of packaging available to the environment. I feel that if a co is focused on holistic and juicing/healthy lifestyles, they should also be very environmentally conscious of their footprint. Given this is a CA brand, even more so should the health of the environment and the footprint we make on it should be taken into consideration. So while I really enjoyed the juices, I didn't like the use of plastic bottles for freezer packs that look just like the celery juice plastic bottles, and the use of styrofoam. If you need help in changing this, I'm happy to help.”
We understand your concerns and would like to address them! Other juice companies use preservatives or high-pressure processing, which gives their juices a long shelf life, but degrades or eliminates most of the nutritional value and taste. So while their juice may be in glass bottles, what’s inside is less nutritious. The only way to preserve all the nutrients and flavor in our juices is to flash freeze and ship them frozen. When a liquid is frozen, it expands, causing glass bottles to shatter. So we use plastic bottles instead. The styrofoam insulation in the boxes allows us to get you the products frozen and as fresh as possible. We would like to also let you know we are always researching and testing more sustainable measures, however, we have not yet found any other materials that allow us to get you the freshest, most delicious products to you safely as well as the materials that we currently use. Please rest assured we are always experimenting and searching for more sustainable ways to do this. If you do have any suggestions, please feel free to reach out to me directly at Amanda@rawgeneration.com with your ideas and I would be happy to forward your suggestions along to the operations department. Thanks!
