SUSTAINABLE CHEESE
PACKAGING
Films and Resins Made Sustainable
Did you know that in 2019, 87% of cheese packaging around the globe contains plastic?1
In an industry reliant on plastic packaging and with growing concerns about plastic waste, dairy brands can show leadership in environmental responsibility by prioritizing sustainable packaging innovation.
We conduct a wide variety of analytical and physical testing and use this information to develop innovative sustainable packaging for fresh cheese while maintaining the high level of performance, protection, and shelf appeal you’ve come to expect with our products.
Our sustainable films for fresh cheese are great solutions to help you meet your sustainability objectives!
