Cahir meat plant to introduce new sustainable packaging

The move by the ABP owned Good Herdsmen will see a 70% reduction in the amount of plastics used to package its meat products.

The packaging includes a recyclable card and thin film of peel away plastic.

ABP says the new development will not impact on the shelf life of the product.

The packaging is initially being introduced on the Good Herdsmen organic meat products before extending to other product ranges in the future.
