♻️ Global Recycling Day: Let's reduce our footprint! 🌍 At Bonduelle, reducing environmental impact is one of our top priorities. Today, 98% of our packaging is designed to be recyclable or reusable. 📍 Elodie Julliot, R&D packaging specialist for the Bonduelle Group, tells us more. 👉 How is Bonduelle improving the recyclability of its packaging? All our cans and jars are endlessly recyclable! Since 2020, all our business units have been working to simplify our materials to make them recyclable. For example, since 2023, we’ve made our frozen food packaging recyclable in Europe, in a total of 38 countries. Between 2020 and 2024, the Bonduelle Group has increased the proportion of packaging designed to be recyclable or reusable from 89% to 98%. And we'll be close to 100% by 2025! 👉 Just 2% left. Are we almost there? 2% may seem small, but there are significant technical challenges. For some components, no viable solution currently exists. That's why we’ll keep working on it in the long term until we reach 100%. 👉 How do we reduce the impact at the source? We reduce packaging weight, prioritize eco-friendly materials, and eliminate plastic whenever possible. Since 2020, Bonduelle has reduced the use of virgin materials by 21%, including a 44.5% reduction in fossil-based plastics. ✅ Our cans are now lighter and contain 58% recycled metal. ✅ Our new frozen food bags contain 25% less plastic and 50% less ink than before. ✅ We’ve removed lids from our deli containers as well as single-use forks, preventing nearly 650 tons of plastic waste each year! Together, let's make a difference ! 🌱♻️ #GlobalRecyclingDay #Recycling #Bonduelle #PositiveImpact #WorldRecyclingDay
