\n

Irish dairy business Avonmore has changed the packaging of their fresh cream range in a move that will cut out 40 tonnes of plastic a year.<\/p>\n

The new cartons contain 62% less plastic than the previous bottles and use paperboard from responsibly managed forests, as well as other controlled sources. This packaging change is the latest in a series of alterations by the company to reduce its plastic use.<\/p>\n

\n

Last year, the company introduced paper straws for its EU School Milk Scheme in a move that is estimated to have reduced plastic usage by 2.7 tonnes each year.<\/p>\n

Miriam Walker, director of domestic consumers at Avonmore, said: “As part of Avonmore\u2019s sustainability strategy our aim is that 100% of our product packaging is recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025.”<\/p>\n

Co-op chairman, John Murphy, said: \u201cThe latest move to more environmentally friendly Tetra Top cartons for our Fresh Cream is yet another step on our continuous sustainability mission. It shows Glanbia Co-op\u2019s commitment to delivering on our \u2018Living Proof\u2019 promises on plastics, packaging and carbon reduction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Avonmore is a Glanbia Ireland brand and is 100% owned by Glanbia Co-op.<\/p>\n

Glanbia Co-op has over 11,000 farmer members and as part of its sustainability strategy the Co-op has signed up to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) with the aim of showing its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n

Last year, Glanbia Ireland pledged to achieve\u00a0a 30% reduction in carbon emissions\u00a0from its processing sites by 2030.<\/p>\n

The company aims to be net-zero carbon by no later than 2050. This is in line with the Irish Government\u2019s commitment for climate action and low carbon development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
