Spotlight Target Area: Packaging
Barry John Sausages has embarked on an ambitious mission to enhance its sustainability efforts by targeting the replacement of non-recyclable black PET
tubs and black polystyrene trays with eco-friendly alternatives by the end of 2023. Recognising the environmental impact of their packaging choices, the company has taken significant steps towards achieving this sustainability goal.
In 2022, Barry John Sausages proactively engaged with all their customers presenting their plan to switch to 100% recyclable clear trays and flow-wrap packaging.
Encouragingly, all customers embraced this transition, demonstrating their commitment to sustainable practices. The company initiated the phasing out of polystyrene trays, replacing them with clear trays. Notably, the packaging for their jumbo flavoured sausages, a significant product in their portfolio, is now 100% recyclable, featuring clear trays, flow-wrap film, and outer cardboard sleeves.
