Consumer concerns regarding plastic waste are continuing to influence the way major brands package products, which is evident with new announcements as seen with products like the Nomadic Dairy Yogurt & Oat Clusters. The brand has announced that it has changed the packaging for the product to eliminate the need for unnecessary amounts of plastic by clipping the cups together instead of using plastic wrap. The pots are packaged in cardboard sleeves with foil lids that are completely recyclable and also feature a wooden spoon that's crafted from renewable wood that's 100% compostable.
The new packaging for the Nomadic Dairy Yogurt & Oat Clusters is reported to save 200 tonnes of plastic each year to the delight of eco-conscious consumers alike.
