Betterpackaging
for all your products

We can’t avoid packaging for all products.

Without packaging, some products such as butter or fresh products would spoil very quickly. Packaging helps protect food and therefore limit food waste.

But existing alternatives to plastic such as cardboard, paper and Kraft paper are not necessarily appropriate for these types of products. The solution isn’t simply to eliminate plastic.

For us, it all comes down to one question:

How do we reconcile responsible packaging with the need to preserve and protect the most fragile foods, while also respecting our customers’ budgets?

Responsible single-use food packaging does exist.

These days, single-use plastic food packaging is being demonised, and numerous bans have been imposed on its use since 1 January 2020. At Nutripack, we have known since 2009 how necessary it is for the food packaging industry to evolve:

• By encouraging the emergence of a true recycling industry for mono-material plastic, whether PP or PET. Because this is one of the advantages of plastic: if it is collected, it can be recycled. This is what we have been doing for more than ten years, through our dedicated recycling branch.
• By developing alternatives to plastic, such as biosourced materials or the moulded cellulose solutions that we develop at Nutripack.
• By encouraging the use of reusable tableware like Impact Group does through its Re-Uz subsidiary.

And we think that we need to go even further: the material alone is not sufficient to make single-use packaging a responsible food packaging choice. In fact, we have to consider the entire life cycle of the packaging: the material, but also its manufacture, the transport of boxes and packaging, and management of their end of life.
