Drawing on the collective expertise of Moy Park, Pilgrim’s UK and Pilgrim’s Food Masters, the manufacturer is guided by the principle of ‘doing the right thing’. Matt Harris, head of packaging at Pilgrim’s Europe, said packaging was a central focus of the meat processor’s sustainability strategy since its recent restructuring. Every day more and more pressure is being placed on manufacturers to make sure that their packaging is sustainable at every point of the supply chain – from using more recycled material to tracking where their packaging ends up. Julian Dyer, chief operating officer at Australian Vintage, commented: “Sustainability is paramount to our success in the future. The manufacturer is exploring different ways in which it can close the loop on materials and reduce its reliance on virgin plastics.
