Sustainability Awards winner 2024 for Renewable Materials –
Upfield’s plastic-free, oil-resistant, and waterproof wet fibre molded tub for plant-based spreads won the Renewable Materials award. This solution uses paper from a PEFC-certified supplier and has received Conventional Plastic Free Certification.
Since it is decorated with MCC Verstraete and Pagès Group’s Molded Fiber Labelling, the pack is mono-material and therefore recyclable. It does not have a plastic liner, meaning it can be cleaned, dried, and recycled alongside paper and cardboard household waste, as verified by a leading European recycling company.
