Frylight cuts bottle weight to reduce plastic usage and carbon emissions

Sustainability

Frylight has reduced the weight of its cooking spray bottles by 9%, lowering its carbon footprint throughout production and distribution processes. The new design replaces the previous 22g bottles with optimised 20g versions, contributing to more sustainable packaging practices.

This adjustment is expected to eliminate 20 tonnes of plastic annually, equating to the production of approximately 900,000 fewer bottles. Frylight has implemented several sustainability measures in recent years, including a 2017 redesign of its bottle caps, which reduced plastic use by 120 tonnes annually. Additional efforts have included the removal of shrink-wrap packaging, cutting plastic waste by 26 tonnes per year, and enhancing pallet configurations to minimise CO2 emissions in logistics.

The initiative supports the environmental goals of Frylight’s parent company, Saputo Dairy UK, which aims to reduce material usage by 15%.

Earlier this year, Saputo announced plans to remove non-recyclable packaging from its Clover, Utterly Butterly, and Country Life Spreadable lines, preventing an estimated 44 tonnes of packaging waste from reaching landfill annually.
