Our portions are out of plastic wrap today. We are very environmentally conscious ourselves and, of course, have looked at this in detail and tested it. We tested all products in paper foil. Unfortunately, the shelf life and oxidation was not as desired, our products became softer/harder and less shelf life due to the oxidation. Since quality and food safety is our most important factor, we decided not to take this risk. Plastic film is perfectly recyclable in the PMD bag. Bags that are paper on the outside yet have a plastic film inside are even worse for the environment as they are not recyclable.
