]]>With the new, environmentally friendly packaging, Epiros achieves a 15% reduction in plastic. At the same time, the new packaging of feta and white cheeses in brine 400g have a new optimised shape, which ensures the reduction of discarded brine by 34% and atmospheric pollutants by 3.6%, compared to the previous packaging of the products*.
The main pillars of the ESG strategy that Epiros SA has set for the next five years, include the drastic limitation of waste and plastic use, as well as the reduction of carbon emissions and water consumption. The company’s objective is to contribute in tackling the climate crisis, as well as in the improvement of the quality of every person’s life.
The director of Epiros Production Units, Nikos Tsiliberdis, commented: “In Epiros we have now entered a new era where the main concern is the production of top quality & taste cheese products, with as little impact on the environment as possible. We know we still have lots to do. We are moving forward, step by step, towards the goal of zero carbon footprint.”
*It is noted that the above calculations have been based on an LCA study, according to the ISO 14040:2006 and ISO14044:2006 standards, and specifically for the scenario of the EPIROS FETA PDO 400 g packaging.
