Today's discussion centers on zip closures used on retail food packaging. Here are two examples I found in my kitchen today.
We enjoy Wild Harvest™ brand Organic Light Brown Sugar, grown using sustainable farming methods. The product itself is of high quality. Wild Harvest prints instructions on the bag to "reseal ziplock bag and store organic light brown sugar at room temperature." Good advice, and while the zipper on this package is much less intricate than the one on the Nestle package, it serves the purpose of keeping your brown sugar fresh for weeks or even months.
Please share your finds on good or bad packaging.
Intercept Technology Packaging products fit within a sustainability strategy because they are reusable, recyclable, do not contain or use volatile components (No VOCs, Not a VCI) and leave a smaller carbon footprint than most traditional protective packaging products.
