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 favorably received by consumers focused on anti-plastic initiatives.

U.K. supermarket chain Sainsbury’s has announced that it is moving away from plastic trays to a board-based alternative for its own brand steak range. The move means that the new packs now contain 70% less plastic than the previous pack. Sainsbury’s says that the move will result in a saving of 249 metric tons of plastic per annum. The trays can be recycled at home by rinsing the cardboard before placing them in a curbside recycling bin. The new format was originally introduced for its Taste the Difference and So Organic steaks and is now being rolled out on the full range of ten steak products. The move is part of Sainsbury’s Plan for Better commitments, through which the company is trying to reduce plastic packaging across its own brand ranges. The new packs will be available in stores from July 2023.
