The reusable lids also pilot a new biocomposite food package application. The lids will be distributed at Valio's sales demonstrations in
Roughly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption gets thrown away or wasted every year. This wastes resources and produces unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming. The packaging - and the lid - play an important role in reducing food loss and waste by protecting the food items during transportation and storage.
'With this pilot project, we want to encourage people to take small concrete actions to prevent food waste. The lid helps to cover any leftover creme fraiche and quark in the cups, and this way to prevent food waste,' says

The co-operation also intends to trial how a biocomposite works when combined with a traditional food package. The reusable lids are made of durable and hygienic DuraSense by
'Valio was the first in the world to start using fully plant-based one-litre milk cartons in 2015. In 2018, we converted all of our 250 million gable-top milk, yoghurt, cream, and sour milk packages to fully plant-based ones. These packages are part of broader work where Valio aims for carbon-neutral milk, i.e. resetting milk's carbon footprint in 2035. We continue to explore new package innovation possibilities that we could try out and implement,' says
