The UK retailer Sainsbury´s today anounced the use of Amcor Flexible´s new heat-sealed packaging. This packaging will be used for products like strawberries, plums and cherries.
The new packaging will reduce the weigth of the packaging and the total amount of the plastic used by the retailer, supporting the claims of Sainsbury´s Greenretailing policy.
The new package, thanks to the new film metarial, will be 87% lower in weigth, for Sainsbury´s supermarkets thin means a total of aprox. 333 tonnes less of plastic per year.
The film can be printed on and this will also render labelling obsolete, helping the fight against waste again.
The Amcor company is also speaking with other retailers to see if they can introduce their new packaging method there also.
