Our packaging plays a key role in keeping our products safe, preventing food waste and ensuring access to our nutritious food around the world. But it is equally important that our packaging is also environmentally sustainable. That’s why we want our packaging to be fully circular by 2030.
We design our packaging to be recyclable, reusable or compostable and help you as consumers to dispose it, so that it stays in the value chain. By the end of 2022, 93% of our packaging material was recyclable. The goal is 100% by the end of 2025.
Responsible materials
We use less and better materials, preferably recycled or renewable and responsibly sourced.
Collaboration for impact
We collaborate with authorities to ensure that our packaging can be collected and recycled & with suppliers to develop the solutions of tomorrow.
