UK supplier of ingredients to the food industry, Sleaford Quality Foods (SQF), has strengthened its commitment to sustainability by unveiling plans to convert all its plastic packaging from black to white.
The move is part of SQF’s pledge in February to ensure all its packaging is recyclable or compostable by 2022.
"We are in the process of removing all black plastic from our packaging range. White plastic is more environmentally friendly than black and can be more easily sorted for recycling by large machinery,” said Richard Oke, marketing manager at Sleaford Quality Foods.
The first SQF products to be using the new packaging are the Chef William black tubs used for products such as gravy, soups, bouillons and salt.
The roll-out of white tubs will start in May, with customers scheduled to see new tubs in early June.
