There is a new trend in food packaging, which is of course, the single pack, along with the single serve forms of packaging. This shouldn’t be super surprising, as most households consist of one person. Some companies have begun to adapt and reduce excess packaging.
Some people say that these create more pollution, as it does release the same amount of product, but it does increase the need of packaging. However, that’s not the case. In fact, a lot of the single serve and single pack packaging is actually very low in terms of the environmental impact it has, due to it being very recyclable. With a higher biodegradability, this is something that’s becoming a trend and a lot of people like it.
Ready made sauces are one that’s really started to take advantage of this. While you might want to use a jar or a box of these tomato sauces, for a singular person, you’re only going to make a couple of proteins. This helps prevent product spoilage. Cirio is the first to start this, as they offer a portion of their sauces readymade, using a cardboard sleeve that’s eco-friendly for this. you don’t have to worry about forgetting a container or using a Tupperware product that gets thrown in the back of the fridge.t his offers the exact quantity needed.
Then there are other companies that are starting to also take advantage of this. One of these is soup. Single portion soup options are great, as one person can enjoy this. It comes with a sleeve made of cardboard that’s simple and handy, and this showcases all of the nutritional facts, and also the photography and illustrations that depict this.
Then there is Mase, which offers a protein-rich, healthy single serve snack. These are pulled pork treats, which offer a shape of the cardboard box that’s incredibly practical, and with a bottom that interlocks. It contains some frayed pork that’s great for filing a sandwich or is great for even just having a snack. It’s convenient, and also very stylish, and also is great for reducing the environmental impact that might be there.
Then there are now fruit servings that are single serve options. Alcee Nero is one that’s started to take advantage of this, as they offer two different pomegranates thrown together within a cardboard packaging that even looks like a shopping bag. The best part? No plastic or polystyrene, only eco-friendly materials that offer a tasty, very inspirational, and fun sort of design that you can’t get enough of.
Desserts are even taking advantage of this. While desserts are usually enjoyed in large amounts, there are now single-serve chocolate chip cookies, all in a disposable and eco-friendly package. The beauty of cardboard is that it’s single serve, and it’s both precious and elegant too. It’s great if you just want to have a snack on hand, and also is great if you want something to munch on during your break.
Finally, hot tea. While you might want to get a whole box of this, if you don’t want to have a bunch of it, they now offer single-serve sachets. The wrapping, made of paper, and the tea leaves offer a unique look to them. They look almost like drugs, especially when they use the long sachets, but they’re not. It’s great too, as it offers a green, albeit scarce packaging that really shines.
Going single-serve with your packaging, especially any small foodstuffs is great, and it does prevent the wasting of food, which is great for a variety of single-serve households.
