Joseph Zeppilli, Co-Founder of Bad Monkey Popcorn, talks about the company’s journey toward creating viable compostable packaging for one of the world’s most popular snack foods.

The brand has evolved from kitchen table origins to one of the fastest-growing female-founded companies in America. 

The women and minority-founded family brand offer nostalgic snacks reimagined with heirloom corn to create modern, better-for-you, sustainable favorites. 

Consumers push the trends in this market, which include flavor diversity, health and wellness appeal, convenience/resealability and clean label. There are opportunities for manufacturers, such as sustainable processes and increased productivity levels, to keep up with demand.

The global savory snack food market was worth $94.3 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow to $220 billion by 2025, according to the 2018 Assessment of the Snack Foods Market report produced by PMMI. North America is the second largest market, accounting for 33 percent of market value.
