What the jury said
The newly designed cheese wrapper is aptly named. The switch from multi-material primary packaging to a pure PP wrapper is impressive.
The monomaterial consists of an outer layer and a specially woven PP. This fleece-like layer forms an air cushion to allow the cheese to continue maturing naturally.
The customer does not notice any difference in the taste.
The achievement of maintaining product quality whilst switching to mono-material for the circular economy is outstanding and was particularly emphasised by the jury.
