Did you know...? Heinz is marking the nationwide launch of its new paperboard Eco-Friendly Sleeve Multipack with the help of four artists who have each created limited edition designs for the packaging. “Our new Eco-Friendly Sleeve uses no glue, the paperboard is fully recyclable and comes from sustainably managed forests. Best of all, rolling it out will result in the removal of 30 tonnes of plastic from Ireland’s supermarket shelves every year," commented Elaine McCague, senior commercial & marketing manager, Heinz Ireland.
