Sustainability touches every aspect of the dairy industry. Consumer demand for more environmentally friendly products is a driving force, prompting changes to packaging materials that are more easily recycled, contain recycled content, are source-reduced and/or are derived from renewable sources.
It's no surprise we're seeing more flexible packaging in the dairy case. Its many positive attributes make a persuasive argument in favor of the format.
To compete in a crowded grocery store aisle, dairy processors are choosing rigid containers that help them stand out and connect with consumer preferences. Grocery shoppers frequently view packaging that shows environmental, and health, consciousness as being as important as the product inside.
