The majority of prepackaged foods are contained in materials that are intended to be disposed, but this new packaging from Dalehead Foods is intended to be recycled to cut down on the amount of waste created.
The packaging is crafted from sustainable raw materials and is utilized on three of the ready-to-eat turkey meat products that are stocked at Waitrose in the UK. The see-through packaging lets shoppers see the product before they purchase it, which increases their connection to the food within rather than keeping it hidden from sight.
The Dalehead Foods turkey meat product packaging was discussed by Matt Richards, Innovation Manager for the Tulip Group, who said, "At a time when shoppers are more conscious than ever before about the ecological footprint of their purchases and supermarkets are looking to improve the environmental impact of their packaging, the launch is very timely."
