While creating and executing great tasting foods packaged for convenience, we remain ever vigilant in seeking and adopting opportunities that further our environmental sustainability objectives. Some key areas include:
- Light-weighting of containers and pouches
- Recycling throughout manufacturing and corporate facilities
- Recycling of excess trim packaging
- Use of BPA-free plastic films for pouches and trays
Shelf-ready foods packaged for convenience as a whole offer sustainability advantages:
- Inherently reduce the need for paper and corrugated cardboard for shipping
- Weigh less and are less bulky than traditional bag in a box, cans or glass, allowing more units to be packaged per box pallet
- Energy usage and raw materials are reduced for production of the packaging, the individual unit and pallet weigh less for shipping and the carbon footprint of the product is minimized
- Display-packed products, a common form of secondary packaging for our products, further reduce the use of paper and corrugated
- Shelf-ready products do not need to be refrigerated
- Portable foods eaten directly from the container eliminate the need to wash dishes or bowls, and thereby reduce energy consumption
