BonCulina’s frozen plated meals packaging is lighter than other plated solutions and pallet-optimised to reduce its land travel footprint
BonCulina introduces more environmentally friendly packaging solutions at its Colchester production unit across its plated and multi-portion ranges and retires old product names following a boost in sustainability performance and upgraded product quality.
BonCulina has worked hard to raise the bar in several areas, including culinary standards, since the acquisition of Anglia Crown. Now the Colchester production unit is making a shift following successful trials to boost sustainability with the introduction of more environmentally friendly packaging solutions across its plated and multi-portion foodservice ranges for healthcare, care homes, business & industry and defence sectors.
BonCulina’s frozen plated meals packaging is lighter than other plated solutions and pallet-optimised to reduce its land travel footprint. As part of the environmental shift, BonCulina has now implemented the new recyclable non-carbon black Torus Pak, easily detected during the waste sorting process and recycled for other industries, unlike most black plastic food packaging.
A similar upgrade for its multi-portion food range and single hot desserts sees traditional CPET replaced with Evolve packaging, which uses up to 75 per cent Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content and is easily recyclable.
