Sustainable Packaging

Our commitment to environmental stewardship includes ongoing planning and innovation to increase the sustainability of all our materials. We know our customers expect nothing less.

We’re working hard to minimise our production resources and our environmental footprint. Sustainable plastics and packaging are essential to the integrity of our products.

We want to be the best in preventing food and packaging waste through the whole supply chain, including collaboration and partnerships with diverse suppliers.

To that end, we’re promoting a circular economy for responsibly sourced packaging. Our targets and focus are guided by six principles to help us:

Remove

Remove unnecessary single use plastic from Pilgrim’s UK operated facilities by 2021 and all single use black plastic from completed products.

Reduce

Reduce the packaging used per kilogram of our production every year.

Re-use

Re-use: We’re exploring opportunities for solutions with our customers that mean our packaging can be used again.

Recycle

Recycle: We’ve set targets to increase recycling across all categories.

Responsibly

Responsibly source all packaging materials where possible Ensure all paper and card has Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certification.

Research

Research sustainable packaging, including alternative, non-plastic materials. Working with academic and supply chain partners to develop sustainable packaging that complements our products.
