Warburtons - Case study: Reducing packaging

The successful launch of a new 'mid sized' loaf is one of the ways in which Warburtons is helping to reduce packaging usage as well as food waste in the home.

The company's 600g loaf has been made possible due to a change in European law enabling bread to be baked in different sizes from the traditional 800g and 400g packs. Warburtons was the first branded baker to take the opportunity to launch products in the 600g size.

For those consumers who found the existing products too big, this simple development is a great way of minimising wastage in the home – and the smaller loaves require less packaging.

As a responsible company, Warburtons is also reviewing all its existing packaging with the Courtauld Commitment objectives in mind.
