On the other hand, within the framework of its commitment to the environment, the company has also modified the packaging of its products. It is the so-called Flat Skin, an easily removable film that is placed on top of the meat to cover the product and that is normally held in a cardboard tray.
This new packaging, which is already used in about ten references, in premiums and in all Iberian pork articles and a large part of the organic ones, allows the use of plastic in packaging to be reduced by 75% (compared to packaging with PET and modified atmosphere).
The company is already working to implement this new packaging in all products in which its format allows it, the goal for next year is to double the number of articles. In the coming weeks the discounter will also launch a new sustainable cardboard packaging for hamburgers that reduces plastic by 85%.
