Hellmann’s senior marketing manager Rachel Chambers comments: “We’re constantly looking to help consumers reduce food waste. The smart jar is an innovative way to get people talking about – and solving – this massive problem.”
A recent GlobalData report on technology in packaging suggests Hellmann’s new smart jar is an illustration of a change that is taking place within the packaging sector.
