Today, on ♻️ Global Recycling Day ♻️ we celebrate the power of recycling and its role in protecting our planet 🌍. Organised by the Global Recycling Foundation, this day promotes a circular economy while highlighting recycling as the ‘seventh resource’, essential for reducing waste, saving energy, cutting carbon emissions, and preserving our finite natural materials. And we all have a role to play. At Lactalis UK & Ireland, we’re committed to making our packaging more sustainable, ensuring it meets recycling criteria while continuing to protect the quality of our products. But we’ll be honest, it’s not easy! Balancing sustainability with product integrity (especially for living, maturing cheese) is a challenge, and finding the right materials takes time, testing… more testing and innovation. It’s a continuous journey of learning, with plenty of ups and downs along the way. This is why sustainability isn’t just one person, or one department’s job, it’s a cross-business responsibility. And today, we want to introduce you to the incredible team driving this change in our business: Stephanie Aubert (Technical Controller), Tracey Wilson (CSR Manager), Lesley Moody (Technical Packaging Manager), and Heloise Le Norcy-Trott (Group Marketing Director) 💚. Talking with the team it’s clear they're determined, but it’s not easy – for example, they have been working on some projects since 2020 – now that’s dedication! And while it can be tough keeping the motivation and momentum, they also know it’s a journey of trial and error, learning, and breakthroughs. While there are challenges, there are also plenty of successes to celebrate, and we couldn’t be prouder of this super team 🦸♀️🦸♂️. Interested in seeing our most recent packaging innovations?
