US-based health food company Lifeway Foods (LWAY) is set to use fully recyclable bottles to pack its Lifeway Organic product line.

Apart from the new recyclable bottles, LWAY also uses biodegradable plastics, including cups, spoons, straws and napkins that are made from completely recycled, unbleached paper, for its various products.

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."
