Scaling Sustainably: How Norr Organic’s Skyr and Greiner’s K3® Cup Are Winning Over the US

From a local startup to nationwide success, Norr Organic has been committed to one thing from the beginning: offering probiotic-rich skyr made with clean, natural ingredients — and packaged in a solution designed to reflect those same values. Based in New York, the US brand focuses on certified organic ingredients and healthy nutrition — without compromise. That same principle extends to their packaging. Since 2021, Norr Organic relies on Greiner Packaging’s sustainable K3® cardboard-plastic cup to bring their products to shelves across the country, growing from a regional brand to nationwide distribution.

Sustainable product meets responsible packaging

Offered in flavors like Mixed Berry & Açaí, Vanilla, or Plain Whole Milk, Norr Organic’s skyr is known for its probiotic benefits and organic promise. From the start, they needed a packaging solution that aligned with their values — environmentally conscious, functional, and visually appealing. The K3® cup proved to be the perfect match.

Offered by Norr Organic in 4.4 oz and 16 oz formats, the K3® cardboard-plastic cup is not only eye-catching but also designed for sustainability. The cardboard wrap allows the plastic cup to have thinner walls, significantly reducing plastic usage. But it doesn’t stop there — with Greiner’s intuitive New Tear Tab system, consumers can easily separate the cardboard wrap from the plastic cup, enabling both materials to be recycled in their respective streams. The clean, white plastic cup can then be processed into high-quality post-consumer recyclate (PCR).

A smooth partnership from the start

When COO Pierre Forien joined Norr Organic in 2021, the brand was still a regional name. Today, their skyr is available nationwide — and the packaging has kept pace with that growth every step of the way.

"It’s been great from day one. The Greiner Packaging team has been incredibly responsive and accommodating, making the whole process smooth. Working with them truly is a pleasure."

Standing out with sustainable packaging

For Norr Organic, success isn’t just about what’s inside the cup — it’s also about how it’s made. The K3® cardboard-plastic cup supports their mission to reduce environmental impact while helping their probiotic skyr stand out in a competitive dairy aisle. From healthy ingredients to sustainable packaging, Norr Organic and Greiner Packaging continue to grow — together.
