PCR-Enabled Packaging Updates

Cabot Creamery Introduces 30% Post-Consumer Recycled Films

Cabot Creamery Cooperative is preparing to launch a more sustainable packaging solution for its signature 8-oz cheese bars. Starting in the fourth quarter of this year, the popular cheese bars will be packaged in an innovative wrap made from 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) film to address consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging.

The 30% PCR film wrap was carefully selected to meet Cabot’s high product protection and quality preservation standards. This film maintains essential water and oxygen barriers to keep the cheese fresh, ensuring product quality throughout the supply chain.

Notably, the material's compatibility with Cabot’s current production line was a critical factor in its selection, allowing the cooperative to integrate sustainable packaging without requiring extensive changes to its signature manufacturing process.
