Carrefour Brasil To Adopt New, Recyclable Packaging

Carrefour Brasil is set to introduce new packaging for its organic products, bakery, cafeteria, cold cuts, as well as e-commerce.

The initiative is a part of the retailer’s plan to review and replace the packaging used in its supermarkets, hypermarkets, and e-commerce.

In 2019, the company will prioritise the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials in its entire organic assortment.

Styrofoam packaging will be substituted by corrugated cardboard for organic products of private-label brands as well as other suppliers.

Carrefour’s anti-waste platform includes a comprehensive recycling programme offering more than 450 collection points for materials such as paper, plastic, metal, tetra pack packaging, batteries, cartridges, toners, lamps, used cooking oil, and medicines.
