Clean Cult\u2019s launch builds on that legacy, offering shoppers convenient, certified alternatives to traditional plastic-packaged cleaners. As one of the first brands to introduce aluminum bottles and paper-based cleaning cartons in these categories at Whole Foods Market, Clean Cult\u2019s arrival represents a significant retail milestone and a shift in how sustainability shows up in everyday grocery aisles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe built Clean Cult to prove that responsible design and high performance can go hand in hand,\u201d said Ryan Lupberger, CEO and Co-Founder of Clean Cult. \u201cTeaming up with Whole Foods Market helps bring that mission to more homes and makes plastic reduction an everyday habit without sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To meet Whole Foods Market\u2019s high ingredient and performance standards, Clean Cult underwent a rigorous vetting process that included transparency, efficacy testing, and biodegradability requirements. Now Green Seal Certified, Clean Cult delivers proven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/topics\/2678-sustainable-packaging\" id=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">sustainability<\/a> and high-performance cleaning backed by testing, not just claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur customers care deeply about what\u2019s in their products and what\u2019s not,\u201d said Ruby Rios, Senior Category Merchant at Whole Foods Market. \u201cI\u2019m especially excited to launch Clean Cult because it brings something new to the household essentials aisle\u2014convenient, low-waste design paired with clean, effective formulas. It\u2019s the kind of packaging innovation and ingredient integrity we\u2019re proud to put on our shelves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initial rollout spans four strategically selected Whole Foods Market regions\u2014Northeast, Rocky Mountain, South Pacific, and Northern California\u2014markets known for eco-conscious shoppers and progressive retail leadership. Shoppers across these regions can now find Clean Cult\u2019s best-selling products on shelves at select stores, including Fresh Linen and Lavender Laundry Sheets; Juniper Sandalwood and Lavender Liquid Laundry Detergent Cartons; Fresh Rain and Lemon Zest Dish Soaps in both ready-to-use aluminum bottles and paper-based refill cartons. Together, Clean Cult and Whole Foods Market are not just stocking products, but they\u2019re shaping a new standard for sustainable living at scale.<\/p>\n<p>Clean Cult was founded to challenge the status quo of the cleaning industry: toxic ingredients and single-use plastics. With a full line of refillable and beautifully designed products, the brand is proving that sustainability and performance don\u2019t have to be trade-offs. This Whole Foods Market launch, building on Clean Cult\u2019s national expansions in Costco and Target earlier this year, marks another milestone in the brand\u2019s retail momentum and reinforces its position as a category leader in low-waste <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/topics\/2997-household-packaging\" id=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">home care<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleancult.com\" id=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.cleancult.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/105868-clean-cult-brings-refillable-home-care-packaging-to-whole-foods\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clean Cult, the world\u2019s first company to package cleaning products in paper-based cartons, today announced its July launch across four Whole Foods Market regions, bringing refillable, low-waste home care to one of the most trusted names in retail.\u00a0 This partnership signals the next chapter in both companies\u2019 commitment to sustainable packaging solutions \u2014introducing paper-based refill [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":8519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[470,45,1528,346,54],"class_list":["post-8518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-packaging-news","tag-home-care-packaging","tag-paper-based-packaging","tag-refillable-packaging","tag-retail","tag-sustainability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
