08 Mar 2022 --- Coveris has equipped a leading pet food producer in Ireland and the UK with recyclable plastic food bags. The bags come in bigger sizes as eco-conscious pet owners show a preference for buying larger-size packs with recyclability credentials. According to the Pet Food Manufacturers’ Association (PFMA), 3.2 million UK households have acquired a pet during the COVID-19 pandemic. PFMA indicates this trend is driven mainly by Gen Z and Millennials (59% of new owners) who are more concerned about the environmental impact of packaging waste and, therefore, prefer buying bigger, recyclable size packs.
