good natured Products Inc. Expands Capacity at IPF to Meet Increased Demand for Plant-Based Compostable and Recyclable Packaging


VANCOUVER, BC, July 6, 2021 /CNW/ - good natured Products Inc. (the "Company" or "good natured®") (TSXV: GDNP), a North American leader in earth-friendly plant-based products, today announced it has expanded its manufacturing capabilities at its IPF Facility (formerly Integrated Packaging Films).

In line with plans announced in December 2020 and in connection with the acquisition of Integrated Packaging Films, good natured® has invested to expand the facility's annual production capacity by 50%, to 33 to 35 million pounds annually. This expanded capacity positions good natured® to strategically capitalize on rapidly growing interest in compostable and renewable packaging options being driven in part by government and industry lead initiatives in both the United States and Canada. In particular, the additional capacity will play an integral role in meeting the demand for the recently launched microwavable to-go containers.

The expansion follows on good natured®'s recent acquisition of Ex-Tech Plastics which further enhances the Company's access to post-industrial recycled content. This serves customers who have minimum levels of recycled content or responsibly sourced bio-based content in their sustainable packaging mandates, a recently set out requirement in the US Plastics Pact Roadmap to 2025.

Details of the IPF capacity expansion to support future growth initiatives are as follows:

"I want to congratulate the team at our IPF Facility for developing and initiating a 50% production capacity increase within our existing manufacturing footprint," stated Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured®. "The new high-speed extruder is over two times more efficient than our existing standard equipment and will strengthen our customer experience with shorter onboarding and production lead times. The addition of high-speed extrusion technology and capacity increase improves our supply chain economics and positions the Company well for significant organic growth potential going forward."
