Compared to before, 70% less plastic must be used for the new, innovative, protective gas packaging of the popular S-BUDGET minced pork. Thanks to the savings achieved in this way, the domestic chain was also able to reduce the price of the product.

“Our company’s primary objective is to use less and less plastic in the packaging of goods, while of course meeting the highest food safety and storage standards. Thanks to our environmentally friendly measures, we saved more than 550 tons of plastic in packaging materials in the year 2022. This number can now increase further due to the fact that one of our most popular meat products, the 500 g S-BUDGET minced pork, is no longer available in the traditional plastic tray, but in protective gas foil in INTERSPAR stores. After the test run until next February, our goal is to switch to flow-pack packaging for this product in all our stores, if customer feedback is positive.”

– said Márk Maczelka, head of communications at SPAR Hungary.
