Napolina is rolling out a new recyclable pasta packaging across its core product range to help offer consumers a more sustainable option they can feel good about. The move will see plastic removed from the packaging and will thus eliminate up to 200-tonnes of plastic from entering the UK waste stream every year. The packaging shift comes on the heels of the brand's shift towards recyclable packaging for its artisan-inspired line that removed 16-tonnes of plastic from circulation.
Commercial Director for Napolina Neil Brownbill spoke on the new recyclable pasta packaging saying, "Italian Cuisine is worth £8.1bn and remains the most popular cuisine in the UK, but we are aware that with this huge consumer demand, comes a responsibility to meet environmental expectations. We know that consumers are increasingly looking for products which are easily recyclable but also convenient and re-sealable. These new artisan-inspired cardboard boxes are 100% recyclable, are beautifully designed and very convenient for easy kitchen storage."
