When compared to the lifecycle of steel cans, the new packaging is claimed to have six times less climate impact.
Easy to open and store, the new packaging is 60% lighter, occupies 30% less shelf space, and is designed to reduce transport space by 20%.
As more Australians turn to plant-based proteins, McKenzie’s new range has been designed to provide a solution for home cooks who dislike the hassle of soaking dried pulses before cooking. The range includes five varieties of pre-cooked pulses that are ready to serve, including Cannellini Beans, Chickpeas, Lentils, Red Kidney Beans and a Three Bean Mix.
“Offering consumers a pre-cooked option for pulses has been a goal of ours for some time and part of this process included searching for suitable eco-conscious packaging. Tetra Recart is the perfect solution — we’re thrilled to offer a delicious, ready-to-eat product that caters to the needs of eco-conscious and convenience-seeking Australians,” said Micaela McGee, Marketing & Innovation Manager at McKenzie’s Foods.
Giancarlos Larocca, Marketing Director, Tetra Pak Oceania said: “Supporting food and beverage brands, like McKenzie’s, as they transition to innovative and sustainable packaging solutions is a fundamental part of addressing challenges across food systems. This is something our team is innately passionate about, as we work to make food safe and available around the world.”
