Green innovation
In collaboration with the Dr. Schär R&D Centre, we have developed more sustainable packaging for the Masterbaker Schär bread range, one of our most beloved products worldwide. By removing the tray and reducing the film, we have cut plastic use by 38% per product and by 15% overall across Schär packaging. The smaller size of the new pack also allows us to transport 30% more loaves per trip, saving around 778 truck journeys, 580,737 km each year, significantly reducing our carbon footprint.
Packaging: guardian of freshness and sustainability
We are seeding a better world, one package at a time. Packaging plays a vital role in ensuring freshness and safety, especially for gluten-free products. Plastic, while effective for preservation, can have a significant impact on the environment if not disposed of properly. That is why our challenge is to combine sustainability, safety and quality, working to make all Schär packaging – across more than 200 products – recycled, recyclable or compostable, without ever compromising our high standards.
