This eliminates the need for a plastic clip and inner cellophane wrap while offering a sleeker package both on the shelf and at home.  

The change is anticipated to cut the company’s plastic consumption by more than 40 tons (t) annually. 

The packaging revamp aligns with Toufayan’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, including responsible sourcing, waste reduction across manufacturing sites, and carbon reduction initiatives.

The removal of inner liners and the introduction of zip-top packaging will be implemented across nearly all items the bakery produces.
