The successful joint project between Heinz and Tesco<\/a> with Berry Global<\/a> and the recycling technology experts Plastic Energy and Sabic<\/a> for the development of Heinz Beanz Snap Pots, which 39 per cent made from recycled plastic<\/strong> was honoured with a Silver Award at the global Packaging Innovation Awards.<\/p>

The award recognises how the project Sustainability of Heinz Snap Pots has improved<\/strong> while retaining what makes them so popular with consumers: the handy, microwaveable format and the preservation of freshness. Heinz Snap Pots manufactured by Berry Global are made from 39 per cent ISCC PLUS certified recycled soft plastic (on a mass balance basis). Soft plastic is used by the consumers to Tesco stores and collected by them to be converted into an optimal oil feedstock by Plastic Energy.<\/strong> to become. Sabic combines this with new material to obtain an alternative raw material for the production of recycled plastic granulate that is approved for contact with food.<\/p>

\"We are proud to have partnered with leading experts to bring this important innovation to our customers. We hope this will spark an industry-wide conversation about what more can be done to address the shortage of soft plastic being recycled in the UK and that we can do better as a collective when it comes to developing new packaging solutions that are good for both our consumers and our planet.\"<\/p>

These are sent to an ISCC-certified Berry Global site, where they are processed into new Heinz Beanz Snap Pots. Previously, under the leadership of Sabic, Berry Global and KraftHeinz extensive tests are carried out to select the right polymer compositions<\/strong>that fulfil the demanding technical requirements. After use, Heinz Snap Pots can be recycled via street collection.<\/p>

\"We are delighted that the Heinz Beanz Snap Pots project has received this important award. It shows how a collaborative approach across the entire value chain can produce innovative, circular packaging design.\"<\/p>
