Packaging

Packaging is an essential component of a product. It protects perishable and sensitive food items and extends their shelf life. This helps to prevent food loss. Packaging also plays an important role in ensuring that we comply with hygiene requirements and helps to keep products protected during transportation. It also contains all of the required information about the product.

Our goal is to use as little packaging material as necessary while still meeting these requirements. In addition to reducing the amount of packaging material that we use, we are also striving to improve the recyclability of the materials we use and to increase our use of recycled materials. These shared goals have been anchored in the group-wide packaging strategy of Schwarz Group. This strategy sets out a comprehensive, cross-divisional, standardized framework governing the use of plastic within Schwarz Group, which is practically applied in our day-to-day work. PreZero enables us to close the loop within Schwarz Group. The discarded packaging waste is sorted and treated before it is eventually used again in our products and packaging.
