Made of recyclable plastic, the new easy-grip container has a wraparound in-mould label and space-efficient tapered cube design.
The firm will initially use the new design for Conagra Brands’ 38oz-sized Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix.
Conagra Brands sustainable development senior director Katya Hantel said: “This redesign is an important step forward on our sustainable packaging journey.
“We will adopt the recyclable cube design over the next several years, supporting Conagra’s target to make 100% of its plastic packaging renewable, recyclable or compostable by 2025.”
