About the Award-Winning RecycAll HandRap™ Range
The Pret Hong Kong RecycAll HandRap™ range was developed in collaboration with Pret a Manger to address Hong Kong’s ban on single-use plastics. This fully recyclable, all-fiber packaging solution is tailored for Pret’s cold food-to-go products, including baguettes and wraps. The innovative design replaces traditional plastic films with a sleek, fiber-based material that maintains product freshness and provides clear food visibility. This environmentally friendly solution not only supports Pret’s sustainability goals but also ensures ease of recycling with cardboard waste streams, demonstrating that sustainability can go hand-in-hand with practicality and performance.
