The “Cooking & Food Packaging” category has been the Sanitas’ flagship for more than 50 years. Food requires the care of a specialist who can guarantee that it is packed and transported in qualitative and safe packaging that is the result of extensive laboratory testing.
By combining quality with sustainability, the products in this category have been created and developed so that packaging materials are environmentally friendly.
Specifically, products such as aluminum foil, baking paper and cling film are packaged in recyclable and FSC-certified raw materials, ensuring the packaging paper is from responsible sources.
Materials such as plastic have been largely replaced by sustainable materials, such as paper. One important example is aluminum trays, where the plastic used for their exterior packaging was reduced per product from 52% to 83% compared to previous Sanitas packaging.
The brand aims to systematically continue to improve products in the coming years and find alternative solutions, such as incorporating recycled and recyclable materials to reduce the consumption of virgin raw materials.
Sustainability is a topic that concerns us all. Nevertheless, many of us may not know precisely how we can recycle certain materials or which materials require recycling. With that in mind, “green tips” can be found on new Sanitas packaging to help us learn which products can be recycled or composted and which bins are appropriate to use for disposal.
Food waste begins in our kitchen. To reduce it, we should try to follow these steps:
Decrease the portions of food we prepare at home if we believe they will not be eaten in good time.
We use products such as cling film and food bags to store foods in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for longer.
We compost leftover foods, such as fruits and vegetables, when appropriate, instead of throwing them away in the bin.
Aluminum, as a material can be recycled repeatedly while retaining its quality. After use, dispose of it in the designated recycling bins.
Baking paper is a compostable material. After use, dispose of it in the designated brown compost bins.
Sanitas Slide & Lock food bagscan be used over and over, as long as they are washed under the tap after each use.
