Volpi Foods announced the new Eco-Pack for the company's line of premium cured meats. The new paper material used in Volpi's Eco-Pack is curbside recyclable once separated from its thin liner. Additionally, the shelf life of the Eco-Pack packaging is equivalent to that of Volpi's previous plastic packaging, so there is no increase in food waste resulting from the switch to paper-based packaging.
In 2021, Volpi transitioned its pre-sliced line to its first Eco-Pack, which reduced plastic use by 70%. The company states that since this launch, Volpi has diverted over 128 tons of plastic, reducing plastic by 80%.
