Dairy-free ‘cream cheese’ in sustainable packaging
UK-based Nush Foods is relaunching is dairy-free ‘cream cheese’, made from almond milk, in recyclable cups with snap-on lids. The environmentally sustainable packaging has been created by Greiner Packaging.
The spread first entered the market in 2018. The most recent packaging iteration is made from K3 cardboard-plastic, with an in-mould label.
The lightweight cup and snap-on lid are made from the same PP material, and the cardboard outer layer can be easily removed to enable recycling.
“Choosing the most sustainable packaging solution is part of our overall commitment and we chose to work with Greiner Packaging as they share our values and were able to offer an improved solution for our new look cheese spreads,” said Andrea Wiltshire, Met Foods Supply Chain Administrator.
“The process of developing the new packaging was straightforward and we feel that Greiner Packaging is involving us in their sustainability journey as they are also making us aware of upcoming improvements, including a potential move to using recycled PP for our dairy-free cream cheese cups.”
