ThePackHub

The packaging industry is experiencing a substantial shift in materials, primarily driven by objectives centered around sustainability. The replacement of plastic remains a priority for many brands and retailers, as they seek alternatives that may provide a smaller environmental footprint or at least be more favourably received by consumers focused on anti-plastic initiatives. This month, we tracked 21 new initiatives in this direction.

California-based Driscoll’s, who are a global market leader for fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, has announced that it has launched its branded paper pack offer into a major U.K. supermarket for the first time. Driscoll’s, who originally launched their paper pack in the U.K. in Whole foods in 2021, will now supply Asda stores across south-east England and also Booths’ stores, expanding its availability in the U.K. for consumers. It is also the first time Driscoll’s will feature British-grown berries in the paper pack. This expansion aims to help retailers and consumers reduce their reliance on plastic, offering consumers the chance to purchase berries in a paper pack format that they can recycle. With the change to FSC-certified paper instead of plastic, the amount of plastic in the packaging is reduced by 94%. The pack does feature a little plastic--a recyclable window.
