Annie’s, organic snack food producer, develops sustainable packaging roadmap for using metallized film

Flexible packaging films with complex, multi-layer structures are hard to collect and recycle. Berkeley, CA-based Annie’s unveils their road map for rolling out snacks packaged in recyclable metallized film at Sustainability in Packaging US. in Chicago, March 12-14.

Patrick Keenan, R&D Packaging Engineer, has worked at Annie’s for the past four and a half years, including a year and a half before the General Mill’s acquisition for $820 million in 2014.

Annie’s produces a wide variety of organic offerings including yogurt, mac and cheese, soups and canned meats, frozen foods, baking, dressings, condiments and sauces, as well as gluten-free, low or no fat, and vegan food with a priority to sustainable packaging. “It was built into the mission of the company, thinking about the earth and the consumer,” says Keenan.
