US-based health food company Lifeway Foods (LWAY) is set to use fully recyclable bottles to pack its Lifeway Organic product line.
The new bisphenol-A (BPA)-free polyethylene bottles will feature a thermoplastic resin, produced from a plant-based feedstock, that will replace its traditional fossil-based material.

Lifeway Foods president and CEO Julie Smolyansky said: “In addition to a growing appetite for healthier foods, people are paying closer attention to how their purchases impact the environment.
“Lifeway has always been committed to green business practises and environmental sustainability, so we felt that choosing a greener packaging alternative was the natural next step.
“We want customers to recognise that everything, from the ingredients we use to the packaging of our kefir, is good for our customers and the environment.”
