According to an IMI GlobalPulse™ study conducted in 2010, 60 per cent of Canadians feel that it is very important for companies to offer environmentally friendly products. In celebration of Earth Day, Heinz Canada will reaffirm its commitment to the environment with a plastic bottle that is made from up to 30 per cent plant-based material. In a first-of-its-kind strategic partnership, The Coca-Cola Company has enabled the H.J. Heinz Company to produce ketchup bottles using its breakthrough PlantBottle™ packaging.
"The revolutionary PlantBottle™ packaging and our groundbreaking partnership with The Coca-Cola Company provides a great opportunity for Heinz to advance our environmental stewardship efforts," said Peter Luik President & Chief Executive Officer, Heinz Canada. "Converting to PlantBottle™ packaging is a global initiative for Heinz and we are pleased to offer Canadians and their families products and innovative packaging options that help make a difference to the planet we all share."
Made from up to 30 per cent plant material derived from sugarcane, the Heinz Ketchup PlantBottle™ packaging looks, feels, and functions like traditional PET plastic and has the same recyclability as the rest of Heinz Canada's Ketchup lineup. Now Canadians can enjoy the ketchup they love and support the environment. The Ketchup in PlantBottle™ packaging was launched in restaurant chains across Canada in a 575 mL format in January 2012, and is now available in grocery stores nationally in the 750 mL size.
New Label Graphics
Heinz Ketchup is proudly produced at Heinz Canada's Leamington, Ontario factory. At launch, Heinz Ketchup sold in PlantBottle™ packaging will display a special "talking label" that asks consumers to "Guess What My Bottle Is Made Of?", a challenge encouraging Canadians to learn more about the breakthrough PlantBottle™ packaging technology.
