Driving toward a goal of using more sustainable materials in packaging, Lamb Weston has launched bags that help our operators meet their sustainability goals by keeping fry product bags out of landfills.
All paper fry bags for operators are now made with bio-based and recycled* materials. “Our Packaging Innovation team did extensive testing to ensure the new and improved bags performed from packing on the product line, shipping throughout the supply chain, and landing safely in our customers’ hands,” said Michael Grandinetti, Packaging Engineer.
The new bags are designed to be:
• Easy to recycle: Empty the paper bag and place it into a cardboard or paper recycling collection bin.
• Easy to open: Open at the center, no scissors or razors needed.
• Heat resistant: Packaging won’t melt if close to a fryer.
Lamb Weston is committed to implementing more sustainable packaging, striving to create less waste, reduce emissions and water use, and build partnerships with suppliers.
Packaging is part of the long-term sustainable goals at Lamb Weston. Lamb Weston recently published its fifth Sustainability Report focusing on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy, global ambitions, actions, and accomplishments during the company’s 2023 fiscal year.
