New Packaging that is great for the enviroment

Dole & Bailey is excited to announce that starting on March 23rd we will debut the most Eco Friendly seafood packaging available. We have worked with an industry leader in biodegradable plastics and boxes to create the finest packaging available. The plastic was tested by a third party auditor and met with the ASTM D1991 standard for Biodegradable Plastic. Our two box system will consist of a Naturally Biodegradable Plastic Fish Tub placed inside a compostable two layer water tight cardboard box. This will completely eliminate all use of Styrofoam in the D&B Seafood Department. Dole & Bailey is proud of the standard this will set in quality and environmental commitment in seafood packaging. We look forward to sharing it with you and continuing our effort in minimizing our Carbon Footprint without sacrificing the outstanding quality of food we deliver to you and your customers.
