Certified B Corp Tillamook County Creamery Association has instituted new sustainable packaging goals. With these new goals, Tillamook hopes to transition 100 percent of its packaging to being recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 2030; increase recylable materials in its plastic packaging to 20 percent by 2025 and eliminate use of all virgin plastic by 2035; and source all virgin paper packaging from Forest Stewardship Council-certified materials and use 50 percent or more recycled fiber by 2025.
The company also hopes to educate consumers on actionable ways to reduce food waste and properly dispose, recycle, or re-use Tillamook packaging.
"Our decision-making around packaging is dynamic as we think about everything from the design, material selection sourcing, and consumer behavior," said Paul Snyder, executive vice president, stewardship, Tillamook County Creamery Association, in a statement. "At TCCA, our goal is to provide a great product that's good for our business, our Tillamook brand fans, and for the environment."
Earlier this year, Tillamook introduced the Tillamook Creamery Collection yogurt served in a reusable cup, a first-of-its-kind offering for the category, according to the company.
