We have recently removed the film wrap around our rice’noodles [whilst ensuring food safety & product quality are not compromised]. This is part of our ongoing commitment to reducing plastic. The cup and lid are also made out of 50% recycled plastic. These recent changes in the rice’noodles cup alone will prevent more than 11,500kg of plastic going to landfill each year. We are aware our work is not yet done but you can see all our sustainability milestones here.
