Plastic caps a thing of the past at Campina Organic

Last year FrieslandCampina took the first step towards a climate-neutral future, including sustainable packaging. The next step in achieving these sustainability goals has now been taken. Campina Biologisch is doing away with the plastic caps on the liter packaging.

Campina Organic liter packs are now available without a plastic cap. Less material is also used in the packaging. All in all, it ensures that the new liter packaging produces 37% less CO2 emissions. According to dairy cooperative FrieslandCampina, the remaining CO2 emissions are fully compensated by investments in the sustainability projects via Groenbalans.

"More and more consumers want to make a more environmentally conscious choice in the supermarket. The new packaging - without a screw cap - is one of the easier ways to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions and the amount of plastic waste. We are taking steps to ultimately make our entire packaging portfolio circular and CO2 neutral and to limit the amount of material," says Bas Roelofs, Managing Director FrieslandCampina Consumer Dairy Netherlands, in a press release. 

Sustainability goals
Making these liter packaging from Campina Organic more sustainable is part of FrieslandCampina's sustainability program 'Nourishing a better planet'. In this programme, the dairy cooperative has set itself a number of goals in the field of a climate-neutral future, biodiversity, sustainable raw materials and packaging.

An example, in addition to the change in packaging, is the generation of sustainable energy by farmers who supply the cooperative. "Since January 1, the power consumption for the production of Dutch Campina products has been covered by the generation of green power by the members of their own cooperative."
