Morrisons removes black plastic from own brand products
2019-11-28 From:Packaging News Morrisons has announced a roll-out of the complete removal of black plastic from all of its own brand food and drink packaging. It’s a significant move in the gradual shift away from black plastic in the packaging industry. Conventional black plastic packaging is coloured using carbon black pigments which mean it’s invisible to optical sorting equipment at plastic recovery and sorting facilities, resulting in the packaging either being disposed of in landfill or incinerated The move accounts for almost 4,000 tonnes of plastic being made more easily recyclable – 7.4% of the plastic used at Morrisons annually – and is part of the goal for Morrisons to make all packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025. The supermarket’s ready meal range has moved from black plastic packaging to a recyclable plastic which contains 85% recycled content. Natasha Cook, packaging manager at Morrisons, said: “It’s important to our customers that we make it easier to recycle plastic and so we are very pleased to announce that we’ve been able to eliminate black plastic from our own-brand products.”
