Murray's Chicken Packaging Changes Lead to Additional Resource Savings

Murrays Chicken

The new packaging from Murray's Chicken along with some size reductions to their master case have resulted in major resource savings for the company.  According to their estimates the changes will save 3,600 trees per year, reduce the equivalent to 12 full garbage truck per year of waste, remove the equivalent of 1,128,000 lbs of CO2 emissions per year (78 cars) and reduce solids waste by 455,670 pounds per year. 

The changes the company made are worth focusing on especially given the increased negative focus on foam food packaging across the country. 

Taking into account the fact more and more municipalities are likely to ban the use of foam food packaging - the changes Murray's Chicken made to its packaging are looking pretty good right now.
