The plastic film we currently use to wrap our cheese is made up of a number of different layers. This reduces the risk of contamination before opening, has a good best before date and stays fresher for longer, thereby helping to reduce food waste. Because of these layers, the packaging is not currently recyclable.
However, reducing our impact on the environment is one of our key priorities as a business and we are actively working to reduce the amount of packaging we use and to increase the proportion of recyclable packaging of our products. We are on a mission to make all our Cathedral City Cheddar Cheese packaging recyclable by 2022.
