For example, can migros not pack pasta in cartons? And eliminate plastic? And other things too.

Dear Migros I thought it wouldn't hurt to give this topic another go. I recently received a bag of pasta as a gift that was made of paper/cardboard - with a small plastic viewing window. I think it's a great idea. https://haerzbluet-pasta.ch/produkt/ Unfortunately, I can't say to what extent the inside of the bag was covered in plastic or not, but it might be worth pursuing such an approach, don't you think? Of course, plastic is also used here, but obviously less than in your current packaging for pasta. And paper is made from renewable raw materials, unlike plastic, which is of fossil origin. It would be really great if something could be done about this :-) Best regards, Oli
Dear Oli, this is a great alternative to plastic packaging for pasta. I can't understand and confirm the argument that "the customer wants to see what's inside the packaging". Alternatively, you could simply print a picture on the paper/packaging for those customers who want to see the product when shopping. This would give every customer an idea of the contents without the need for an extra plastic window. Best regards

Hello sierra2011 Thank you for your good suggestion and the link you sent. I immediately looked into this with the people responsible. We definitely think the packaging is a good thing too. We try to optimize all our packaging; unfortunately, this is not always so easy, as a changeover sometimes requires new machines, which is associated with costs. But we are working on it and will continue to pursue this approach - we will also check whether we can implement this pasta packaging in this way. I wish you a happy new year! Best wishes, Angela
Great contribution and also good that another impetus was given to limit the topic of plastic a little in our society :)

Hello Tarzan84, thank you for your question. Cardboard packaging has the disadvantage that it is no longer possible to view the product. However, many of our customers want this. Paper packaging is not an alternative due to its lack of tear resistance. With the plastic packaging currently used, we are trying to reduce plastic consumption with thinner films. Our top priority is product safety. Kind regards, Luisa
The window would not be eaten as hot as it is cooked. There are soooo many foods that are bought without a window. If possible, I would prefer paper packaging to cardboard. And yes, the thin plastic packaging always tears the first time you open it. Solution: Cut it open and put it in the cling film box. This also works with paper packaging.

Hi, I think it's a great idea to try to switch to less plastic and make at least a small but important difference! Of course it's difficult to put this into practice, but I think it's great that at least the willingness and openness to do so is visible here!
