Sam’s Club has revamped its Member’s Mark rotisserie chicken packaging, introducing a clamshell design with a clear polypropylene lid and a “stone color” base made from 25% postconsumer recycled content. The new base, produced by Sabert, eliminates the previous black color, making the packaging recyclable. This change reduces virgin plastic use by 25% per tray, with each tray incorporating the equivalent of 7.5 repurposed bottle caps.

Key Takeaways

  • New packaging uses 25% postconsumer recycled content and is now recyclable.
  • The switch from black to “stone color” base eliminates carbon mineral fillers.
  • Each tray reduces virgin plastic use and repurposes 7.5 bottle caps.
