Made with mono-PE AmPrima from Amcor, it can be recycled with bags at large supermarkets or via the TerraCycle Cheese Packaging Recycling Programme, which is available at various places in the UK. A survey from Amcor previously suggested that [70% of European consumers](https://packagingeurope.com/news/transparency-and-sealing-in-cheese-packaging-most-important-features-to-consumers-says-amcor/9417.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) consider effective sealing the most important feature of cheese packaging; as such, the new Cathedral City packaging features an easy-close zip function to preserve the product’s freshness and cut down on food waste. The solution contributes to Amcor’s portfolio of recycle-ready packaging – constituting 80% of its global flexible packaging range – as well as its pledge to ensure all its packaging is recyclable or reusable by 2025. Yi Jiang, marketing director Dairy at Amcor, said: “The collaboration between both companies addresses some of the biggest challenges facing cheese manufacturers – how to switch to more sustainable packaging that can run on high-speed production lines, while maintaining the same level of product protection and shelf life. Our AmPrima solution runs on Saputo Dairy UK’s existing filling machines, enabling a seamless transition to a more sustainable alternative.” “The switch to the new recycle-ready packaging marks a significant milestone for Saputo Dairy UK and the nation’s favourite cheese brand,” added Neil Richards, packaging controller at Saputo Dairy UK. “We’ll continue to strive to offer award-winning solutions like this one in order to progress on our commitment to making 100% of our packaging reusable, recyclable or compostable.” Another cheese-related development saw the [GO ORLEANS](https://goorleans.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) research project develop an [active packaging solution](https://packagingeurope.com/news/go-orleans-project-produces-whey-based-natural-active-packaging-claiming-to-extend-shelf-life-of-cheese-by-up-to-50/9610.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) from whey – apparently extending the shelf life of cheese by five to ten days while reusing a pollutive by-product of cheese manufacture.
