Loblaw, the Canadian supermarket retailer, recently announced it's replacing its unrecyclable coffee packaging with
a cutting-edge paper-based solution. The innovation is currently available in a number of categories on shelves, including all 35 varieties of whole bean and ground coffee produced by President's Choice® and no name®.
Loblaw's long-time partner Club Coffee® produces the new AromaPak with Boardio® technology, which utilizes a minimum of 80% paper from renewable, recyclable, and sustainable Forest Stewardship Council tree fiber sources. Designed to meet sustainable and innovative packaging standards, this new packaging has earned the PC® team the 2022 Global Packaging Award.
"We know the impact our products can have on the environment and we are committed to being part of the solution. This new recyclable packaging is another step on our journey in eliminating waste and reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our operations," said Kathlyne Ross, Vice President of Product Development and Innovation at Loblaw Companies Limited.
