This also reaffirms that we are on the right path in our ongoing quest to offer market leading products that are inspired by nature, better for our customers and better for the environment.”
 
According to PLMA, award-winners in food and beverages, as well as non-food, reflected many of this year’s strongest new product and consumer trends. The key features were; natural and organic ingredients, environmentally conscious agriculture, responsible aquaculture, and protection of nature and preservation of the environment. Also very noticeable is the use of packaging from recycled glass, paper or plastic from renewable and sustainable raw materials, all 100% recyclable. In Health and Beauty categories, “free from micro plastics” was evident.
 
Our commitment to sustainability aims to meaningfully contribute to the health and wellbeing of our customers while offering cutting edge innovation at everyday value.
