Three material-type options are explored – recycled PET, PLA lined paperboard and PE lined paperboard – allowing customers to make informed decisions on which packaging option is best.
Joanna Gilroy, head of sustainability at Bunzl Catering Supplies, commented: “Sandwiches and other bread-based foods form such a large part of many of our customers offer. As such, we’re keen to ensure that our customers continue to sell these items in the most environmentally responsible packaging options, which is often the option that best fits their in-house waste streams."
The company’s factsheet aims to provide fact-based, jargon-free information on food packaging waste and recycling as part of its Sustainable Future 2018 programme.
