The "Feader Project"

Context

Manufacturers must now adapt to markets and consumer demand in transition.

Consumers are now buying more responsibly and are paying more attention to the environmental impact of the products they consume.

The jams were arranged in glass jars, which were then grouped six by six in an initial cardboard packaging (tray), itself packed in a secondary plastic packaging.

This material posed several problems from an environmental point of view. In fact, its manufacture is based on petroleum, an extremely polluting industry.

Our ambitions

Confit de Provence wanted to totally modify its end-of-line process to use only 100% recyclable and bio-sourced materials. Recourse to 100% cardboard packaging.

Integration of the project into a sectoral dynamic

Confit de Provence markets mainly AB-labelled products, nearly 80% of them. These investments have enabled the company to secure its future and contribute to the development of the organic sector.
