THE WAY FORWARD: 100% SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

As companies become more and more aware of climate change, they are trying to find new ways to improve and reduce their environmental footprint. Take a look at our member All Real Nutrition and the innovative and sustainable solutions they have come up with to make their product environment friendly. All Real is indeed leading the way for nutrition brands with their home-compostable packaging.

During the composting process, the packaging fully breaks down within 26 weeks. The materials then return to the soil, leaving no adverse effects on the environment. This is a result of utilising bio-based paper and metallised cellulose films which are manufactured from sustainably sourced wood pulp. They are fully accredited by TÜV Home compostable standards.

All Nutrition is also helping to fight singleuse plastic with their certified plastic free packaging. The Plastic-Free Certification Mark is an aspirational mark of excellence and demonstrates the company’ commitment to a sustainable future of packaging without plastic.
