Winterborne’s Expansion of Environmentally Sustainable Packaging Facility Recognized by State of California

LOS ANGELES, CA – Winterborne Inc. received a letter from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger dated Wednesday, August 1, 2007 in response to the expansion of Winterborne’s environmentally sustainable packaging facilities in Chatsworth, California. Governor Schwarzennegger was the invited speaker to the grand opening of the new EnviroShell™ facility, whose expanded production capacity makes Winterborne one of the largest environmentally sustainable packaging companies in the world. The grand opening ceremony, originally scheduled for early August, has been postponed until later in Fall 2007, but increased production from the new facility began in late July. Winterborne received a letter of commendation from Governor Schwarzennegger to coincide with the planned grand opening celebration. In the letter, Governor Schwarzennegger cited Winterborne’s contributions to the economy, workforce, and environmental impact to the State of California.

“The Golden State is proud to be home to companies like yours that lead the way toward environmentally sustainable practices,” writes Governor Schwarzenegger. “Your products reduce pollution, and, as a supplier to major companies like Wal-Mart, you have a wide reaching impact on many others in and out of the packaging industry. Your innovative spirit demonstrates outstanding foresight in business and a true devotion to the environment.”

The EnviroShell™ is the next generation of clamshell packaging that is eco-friendly, cost-effective and ideal for retailers to display. It features 100% post-consumer recycled PET plastic and recycled corrugated components that easily separate for disposal and recycling. With costing being neutral to a traditional 2-piece blister pack, the EnviroShell™ offers a self-selling package that communicates value with bold graphic impact and rigid feel. More useable billboard packaging space allows for higher graphic visibility without traditional clamshell glare. Winterborne’s patented design provides maximum structural performance for better longevity at retail. The EnviroShell™ has passed the theft prevention requirements of the world’s largest retailers and remains safe and easy to open for the consumer.
