Each element of the Mini Babybel  packaging has a clear role in keeping our cheese fresh, tasty, and safe to eat. The red wax helps to create a completely airtight seal, protecting and preserving the cheese in proper, hygienic conditions preventing things like mould from occurring and ensuring your Mini Babybel  is kept safe along its journey. The cellophane completes the cheese protection, preventing the wax from damage and the products from sticking to one another – this is made from wood pulp, cotton or other vegetation. And finally, the net helps to keep all the portions together which uses less plastic than a plastic bag or container. In 2020, we launched a TerraCycle scheme in the UK on our journey to make all our packaging fully recyclable or compostable.
