Depackager Facility
The Salinas Valley is one of the most fertile locations in the world giving us the tagline “the Salad Bowl of the World”. With almost 3.5 billion in crop value from Monterey County in 2021, agriculture dominates our economy.
The downside of all of this produce production is waste. If material doesn’t meet quality or health standards or doesn’t sell in time, the food goes to waste. Due to packaging, this material typically went straight to the landfill. Salinas Valley Recycles received a grant from CalRecycle to increase organics diversion from the landfill. SVR purchased depackaging equipment to separate plastics and packaging from the produce to be able to compost the material.
