After extensive trialling with a number of different materials, Dole has changed the packaging of its Bobby Bananas to a new tape that will reduce around 16 tonnes of plastic from going to landfill in New Zealand each year.
The updated packaging plays a part in helping Dole achieve ‘The Dole Promise’ – a global company initiative aimed at increasing assess to sustainable nutrition, and decreasing food loss, packaging waste and carbon emissions.
All Bobby Banana tape packaging can be recycled and dropped off at Love NZ Soft Plastics Recycling Scheme drop-off points.
