Better for the environment and the wallet
Recyclable forever
Metal is infinitely recyclable without any loss of property
Energy-free storage
Food cans protect products for at least seven years without any refrigeration
From the filling trough the full supply chain, supermakets and up to the consumer’s kitchen pantry, no electricity is needed to store products packaged in metal cans
Fight food waste with better meal organisation
Food waste is responsible for 10% of global GHG emissions
With a longer shelf life, food cans give retailers more time to sell and an optimal product protection from light, pathogens and shocks to avoid food waste
Food cans give families more flexibility to change plans without wasting food. With the widest range of sizes, Eviosys enable brands to propose the perfect portions for every use
“This survey confirms Eviosys is making the right choices by investing in sustainability, transforming our company to lead by example, with the dedication of all Eviosys employees but also in partnership with our customers and suppliers.
Consumers are clearly concerned about rising prices, but they are also not abandoning their stances on plastic pollution, climate change and the environment. Tinned food can be an answer to many pressing issues at once”
Olivier Aubry, Chief Commercial Officer
