Continente is the first private label to make this transition, which was one of the 10 finalist proposals in the \u2018Out of the Box\u2019 contest launched to consumers last year.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe transition will be gradual over the next few months and will involve 8 references of Continente rice \u2013 \u2018Thai Jasmin\u2019; \u2018Agulha Selecionado\u2019; \u2018Agulha Europa\u2019; \u2018Vaporizado\u2019; \u2018Basmati\u2019; \u2018Carolino\u2019; \u2018Arom\u00e1tico Punjab\u2019; and \u2018Risotto\u2019 &#8211; for sale at the leading national food retailer\u2019s stores.\r\n\r\nOne of Continente\u2019s major commitments is to anticipate by 2025 the ambition defined by the European Union for 2030, that the entire brand\u2019s packaging placed on the market is reusable, compostable or can be recyclable in an economically efficient way. In addition to this commitment, Continente also undertakes the mission of incorporating at least 30% of recycled raw material into its plastic packaging by 2025.\r\n\r\nIn 2022, the retailer achieved a recyclability rate for its plastic packaging of 80%, representing a growth of 5.3 pp compared to 2021, and the incorporation of 14.1% of recycled raw material (+2.0 pp compared to 2021). In addition, the brand created an eco-design manual to guarantee the development, from scratch, of more sustainable and effectively recyclable packaging for its products.\r\n\r\nWith more than 4 thousand private label products present in the daily lives of families in Portugal, namely through the \u2018Continente\u2019, \u2018Continente Equilibrio\u2019, \u2018Continente ECO\u2019, \u2018Continente do Beb\u00e9\u2019, \u2018Continente Sele\u00e7\u00e3o\u2019 and \u2018Continente Bio\u2019 ranges, Continente has sought to find and implement measures that seek to minimize the impact of its activity and that contribute to sustainable development.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Continente brand\u2019s rice 1 kg packages will be available on paper (certified and recyclable) by the end of the year, [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":14856,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[158,164,240,175,165,166,156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-continente-en","category-environment","category-mc-sonae","category-news","category-recycling","category-social-responsability","category-sustainability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
