ALL OUR PACKAGING WILL BE WID
THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF OUR PACKAGING IS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF OUR FOOD AND DRINK, BUT THE SUSTAINABILITY AND CIRCULARITY OF MATERIALS IS AN EQUALLY CRITICAL FACTOR
46
Packaging is critical in ensuring the safety and quality of our food and drink and also plays a role in reducing food waste, a major contributor to climate change. However, the environmental impact of our packaging is critical and we continue to operate with the 4 key principles of Reduce, Remove, Recycle and Responsibly Source. All our product packaging should be widely recyclable, use the minimum materials necessary, be sustainably sourced and include recycled content where possible, whilst maintaining durability for supply chain movements. We understand our circular economy responsibility to ensure that materials are reduced, reused where possible, and work with our customers to establish reusable formats to support any appropriate closed loop initiatives. When we consider new packaging for a product, we will take the overall environmental lifecycle and supply chain impact of materials into account to make the best decision for our customers and consumers. We currently use 50% recycled content in all our PET drinks and oils bottles and some of our brands – Jucee, Napolina Olive oil – have pushed this on to 100% recycled content.
