As the number one milk brand in Ireland, Avonmore is working towards a better planet starting by ensuring that all its packaging is reduced, reusable or recyclable by 2025.
In addition, they are reducing plastic packaging across their portfolio by 25%. They have made the switch from plastic bottles to paper-based Tetra Top ® cartons on their range of Avonmore Fresh Creams.
By switching from plastic bottles to Tetra Top ® cartons on Avonmore Fresh Cream, Double Cream and Light Cream, they are saving up to 40 tonnes of plastic every year, or the equivalent weight of two fully loaded tour buses!
The Tetra Top® packaging contains 62% less plastic than the previous bottles and uses paperboard from responsibly managed forests (Forest Stewardship Council® certified) and other controlled sources where new forest growth replaces harvested trees.
“Our Avonmore Cream is the same fantastic, high-quality Fresh Cream you’ve always loved, but now it comes in packaging that is kinder to the planet. Nothing has changed taste-wise.”
“You can also play your part for the planet by ensuring the cartons are recycled after use. Simply wash out the carton, squash it down and place it in the recycling bin.”
