Nestle Prepared Foods Co., Solon, Ohio, USA, announced this week that its Stouffer's brand will adopt new paperboard packaging in its Family and Large Family Size multi-serve products. President and CEO, Angelo Iantosca, explained that Nestle "is always searching for efficiencies and ways to reduce our impact on the environment. One area we've explored is converting CPET, or plastic, trays to paperboard. We tested paperboard packaging with the launch of our three Stouffer's Easy Express items earlier this year. Not only was the launch of the Easy Express line successful in delivering convenient, quality meals to moms in 20 min or less, but the tray material performed well, meeting our strict standards in the areas of product safety and quality. Based on that success, we've decided that we will use the paperboard tray across the Stouffer's Family Size business."
