It has long been our desire to have completely recyclable packaging, it’s 2020, easy right? Er! No. Packaging claims about being recyclable has been a bug bear of mine for years, most claims are just untrue or so difficult to implement that they may as well be non recyclable.

It has long been our desire to have completely recyclable packaging, it’s 2020, easy right? Er! No. Packaging claims about being recyclable has been a bug bear of mine for years, most claims are just untrue or so difficult to implement that they may as well be non recyclable. Ice cream packaging is no different, unfortunately.

It has taken a long time but the last nine months has given us the space to make it happen. If you know someone who wants this guarantee in their business ask them to give us a call.
Happy New Year.

If you simply froze the mix down it would just be a frozen block and completely inedible. So the magic needs to happen and that is ‘whipping’ to get some air into the product. […]
