Sustainability and innovation have always gone hand in hand at TIGERNUTS. As the European regulatory framework evolves towards more responsible packaging solutions, we are already working to ensure that our products continue to meet the highest standards of quality, safety and environmental responsibility.
A New Regulatory Framework for the Food Industry
The new European packaging regulation (EU) 2025/40 is now in force, marking an important shift for all companies in the food sector. The legislation sets stricter targets to reduce the use of plastic and promote recyclable, compostable or lower-impact materials.
Sustainability Has Long Been Part of Our Identity
At TIGERNUTS, sustainability has long been a core part of our identity. Over the past years, we have strengthened our environmental commitments through responsible sourcing, carbon reduction initiatives and continuous improvements in our production processes. The entry into force of the new regulation represents an opportunity to take another step forward in this direction.
Preparing for Change Without Compromising Quality
We have been analyzing these measures for months and studying how to adapt them to our products without compromising what matters most: food safety and the quality our customers expect. We currently use vacuum packaging, a system that ensures the optimal preservation of our tigernuts and flours. However, the new regulation encourages the transition towards more sustainable solutions, and we are ready to embrace that evolution.
Exploring New Packaging Solutions
For this reason, we are evaluating new materials and packaging technologies that can offer the same guarantees as vacuum packaging while reducing environmental impact and fully complying with European requirements. This includes exploring recyclable monomaterials, lower-impact films and innovative barrier solutions that maintain product freshness while aligning with our sustainability goals.
Our Commitment Moving Forward
Our objective is clear: to move towards more responsible packaging without altering product quality or the experience of our customers. This transition is part of a broader commitment to contribute positively to the environment and to remain aligned with the expectations of our clients, partners and the regulatory framework.
As we progress in this process, we will keep you informed about the next steps and the improvements we will be implementing in our packaging.
