Sustainability
Our Commitment
Packaging waste is one of the biggest challenges facing the food and drink industry. At Local Gourmet Pantry, we believe no packaging should never become waste, and we have taken the following commitments to address this:
- designing our packaging to be recyclable or compostable
- boosting the recycled content in our plastic packaging
We are working with our suppliers to have a roadmap to meet our commitment, having completed a thorough mapping of packaging materials and policies.
Our Progress
Our ambition, and the most important challenge for packaging today, is to increase the circularity of our process without neglecting other relevant environmental impacts. All of our packaging is designed to be recyclable. Additionally, we are working to reduce the use of virgin plastic and to increase the use of post-consumer recycled content in plastic packaging.
Achieving Packaging Circularity
Guided by the aim that none of our packaging becomes waste, we collaborate with partners across the value chain in the following areas:
- ensuring the availability of new recycled material solutions on the market
- making sure consumers have clear instructions on how to dispose of their waste
- Working closely with our suppliers to keep up to date with the current and future recycling technologies
