Reducing Waste by Reusing Food: The Story Behind Upcycled Fibers

In recent years, sustainability and responsible sourcing have become essential considerations for consumers. With a growing emphasis on eco-friendly practices, companies are finding innovative ways to repurpose valuable byproducts to reduce waste.

 

Sustainability is of utmost importance at Nature’s Sunshine. To share nature’s power, we have to preserve it. By caring for the planet we protect the mutually beneficial relationship between plants and people. At Nature’s Sunshine, our solar powered facilities and smarter packaging have greatly reduced our carbon footprint. Concurrently we are working with suppliers who share our love of nature; they are providing upcycled (repurposed) fruit fibers that have many nutritional benefits.

 

Harnessing the Power of Fruit Fibers

Power Greens incorporates upcycled fruit fibers derived from apples, carrots, blueberries, and cranberries. These fibers come from the remnants of these fruits after juicing and other food production methods, resulting in a versatile and sustainable resource. Rather than discarding these byproducts, we’ve found a way to give them new life, providing an eco-friendly source of fiber and nutrients.

 

Nutrient-Dense Whole Food Fiber

The fruit fibers used in Power Greens turn into a blend of soluble and insoluble fiber powder with high nutrient density. This powder retains the nutrients naturally present in the fruits and offers a concentrated source of whole food fiber. By incorporating this into your diet, you can enjoy the benefits of a range of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in the fruits.
