RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING
Packaging protects food during the entire product lifecycle. And packaging that is environmentally sustainable protects even more.
OUR CONTRIBUTION
Our first formal Source Reduction Programme on packaging began in 1991. Since then, we have reduced packaging materials by more than 390,000 tonnes. This in turn has allowed us to decrease our carbon dioxide output by more than one million tonnes. Such an amount of carbon dioxide would require more than 3100 km2 of forest a year to absorb.
Non-renewable energy saved adds up to more than 22 million gigajoules of energy, or, to put it more simply, the amount of energy, which would be required to drive more than 380,000 passenger cars for a year.
During 2007 and 2008, we selected an “eco-design tool” to evaluate the environmental sustainability of our packaging. This tool helps us to select the appropriate packaging according to its environmental footprint. All steps in the process are considered, from extraction of the raw materials needed for fabrication, through manufacturing and distribution to recovery through selective collection and recycling.
Because there is no such thing as a good or bad packaging material, we analyze each case individually with the eco-design tool to see which type of responsible packaging might be best. For this reason, the appropriate solution with the best environmental performance will depend on many different elements.
