Purcell Achieves Major Milestone, Expands Manufacturing to Meet Growing Demand

Purcell, a sustainability-driven company focused on reducing food-related waste, has reached a significant milestone by selling out its first manufacturing run of 1,000 bulk food dispensers. Following this success, Purcell has ramped up production and begun 2025 with the manufacturing and import of over 2,000 M1 bulk dispensers—enough to fill a 40-foot shipping container with over 500 boxes.

Operating out of Santa Cruz, California, Purcell designs state-of-the-art dispensers that help eliminate plastic food packaging waste. These innovative dispensers are now being used in grocery stores, corporate campuses, and break rooms across the country, providing a sustainable alternative to single-use plastic packaging.

“We want to reshape how food reaches people through simple designs focused on waste reduction,” said Travis Coleman, Director of Business Development at Purcell. “That said, consumers are driven by convenience, so we have to create solutions that are as easy as picking up a bag of chips. Seeing the demand for our dispensers grow confirms that businesses and consumers alike are finding our product as accessible as it is sustainable.”

The impact of Purcell’s dispensers is substantial. A single corporate campus break room that transitions to Purcell dispensers can save approximately 2,599 pounds of CO2 per year and eliminate the need for 13,475 plastic wrappers annually. With the United States ranking as the world’s most wasteful country—each American generating approximately 1,780 pounds of waste per year—Purcell’s expansion has the potential for widespread positive environmental change.

As Purcell continues to grow, the company remains committed to innovation and sustainability, working closely with businesses to implement waste-reducing solutions that align with environmental goals.
