has been awarded a Packaging distinction for its new box.

The box, now 100 per cent recyclable, uses 43 per cent less cardboard than its predecessor, a feature consumers are demanding. Side openings allow the cheese to age through the box and continue to develop flavour. “Congratulations to all of our teams who participated in this project, helping Agropur realize its vision of sustainable development,” says Antoine Binette-Pierre, Corporate Communications Coordinator, Agropur. The award was presented by the Quebec Food Processing Council (CTAQ) at its 2022 Food Innovation Prize competition in Montreal in November.

CTAQ says the honours reward food companies who stand out for their “exceptional innovation and creativity”. Submissions were evaluated by a jury of food industry professionals.
