Go carton. Food packaging plays a critical role in getting food safely to consumers around the world. But it can also cause problems for the planet.

But we won’t stop there. Our aim is to create cartons made solely from plant-based materials that are fully renewable, fully recyclable and carbon-neutral. It’s all part of our journey to deliver the world’s most sustainable food package.
