Everyone was shocked to see the images of the plastic soup in our oceans. TNI and Harvest House therefore developed a packaging policy that makes clear choices. Our main priority is to keep the use of packaging to an absolute minimum. The second priority is that the packaging we do use has to be recyclable.
We take account of the fact that our salads must be kept in good condition right up to the supermarket and beyond. This is because ninety per cent of our environmental impact is in the product itself. So, if consumers throw away valuable food, this is even more harmful to our planet. That is why we are looking for an optimal balance between the protection of our products and the use of as little packaging as possible.
By conducting Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), we have a clear insight into the environmental effects of our products and know the environmental impact of specific materials. This knowledge enables us to make well-considered choices together with our retail clients. This led to the replacement of OPS by rPET in 2019, as rPET is easier to recycle.
