A growing number of Fresh trays is reaching the UK market in May. Waitrose & Partners launches its Italian ready meal range in the new fiber-based tray suited for both microwave and regular ovens. The trays are manufactured by Huhtamaki, packed at Saladworks and the fiber used as the base material comes from the Swedish forest company Södra. The trays can be recycled, and they also have a certificate for home composting.

The Healthy You, Healthy Planet™ partnership with TerraCycle to recycle all health and nutrition packaging is the next step in achieving RB’s global commitments to support a more sustainable future, which also includes reducing product packaging and eliminating waste through innovation.

“Recognizing that black bottles are one of the central challenges when it comes to recyclability of used packaging, we want to be part of the solution: The new material will contribute to closing the loop of plastic packaging in a sustainable way,” says Vineet Varman, Head of International Packaging Development for Special Detergents at Henkel Laundry & Home Care. “Our joint development projects across all our three business units underline Henkel’s commitment to sustainable packaging and to drive progress toward a circular value chain.”

“Since our House was founded in 1954, our spa aestheticians have been combining our 100%-plant extract face and body oils with our other Clarins skincare products to create custom formulas and enhance their effectiveness”, explains Suzy Lebert, Clarins Marketing Director. “We wanted to develop packaging that would help reproduce this approach from our spa at home. Through our collaboration with Aptar, we combined our iconic Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil with a 100%-natural, melt-in nutritive emulsion in a dual-chamber bottle.
