With scientists at Kellogg discovering ways to reduce the air from its boxes while still protecting the product inside, the company expects to strip out 700 tones of carbon from its packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kellogg recently unveiled its new range of cereals which will contain less salt and sugar and minimized packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food giant used air pillows to protect the delicate contents inside the box for decades; however, with scientists at Kellogg discovering ways to reduce the air from its boxes while still protecting the product inside, the company expects to strip out 700 tonnes of carbon from its packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the food giant, the company will address the carbon footprints of its packaging and operations across Europe over the next ten years. Kellogg has also pledged to feed more people in need along with increasing fiber and decreasing salt and sugar from its products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report in Kellogg\u2019s official website<\/a>, a staggering 311 million tones of plastic is churned out every year. However, \u201cKellogg has one of the smallest packaging footprints among peer food companies,\u201d the website mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will further cut down the use of plastic and cardboard by almost 190 tones annually. This when combined with transport and other logistics efficiencies will successfully eliminate 700 tones of carbon a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly motivated to be part of the solution,\u201d said Nigel Hughes, senior vice president, research quality, nutrition and technology. \u201cWe\u2019re wasting no time in working toward our goal of using 100 percent reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging by the end of 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new boxes will include the same weight of cereal with lesser air pillows and are scheduled to launch this spring from its production lines at Manchester. Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, and the UK will be among countries to get the first line of the products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kellogg Europe\u2019s president, Dave Lawlor, said, \u201cPeople are rightly demanding more from companies like ours and everyone expects good food to do a world of good too. We agree. That\u2019s why we are launching a major new plan to improve our foods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut the impact of our food is much broader than just what goes in the box. It\u2019s about how we grow our ingredients and the impact we have on the planet and how we cook and make our food. It\u2019s also about the social and emotional role of food and how it brings people together,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the U.S., Kellogg is reducing the thickness of their bag-in-box retail cereal packages by 17 percent, according to their official website. The reduction of plastic packaging will amount to 97,000 kilograms annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile we don\u2019t have all the solutions, we\u2019re hard at work testing and learning out loud,\u201d said Nigel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis means researching, collaborating with partners, and piloting new approaches to keep our foods safe and fresh while also protecting the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
