100% enjoyment in 100% recyclable packaging

Mühldorf, summer 2022: Byodo Naturkost GmbH from Mühldorf is switching the packaging of its Italian pasta range to paper over the course of the summer. The company is thus not only meeting its customers’ demands for perfect enjoyment and top organic quality, but also for sustainable packaging in the future.

The lasagne sheets in light, wholemeal and gluten-free varieties and the cannelloni were available in cardboard packaging right from the start. The previous plastic-reduced composite packaging is now being completely replaced by 100% recyclable paper packaging for the other varieties, which can and should be disposed of in the blue garbage can for waste paper.

The new packaging for Byodo’s organic pasta is made of paper with the “FSC Mix” certification. It therefore contains materials from FSC-certified forests, recycled material and material from controlled sources (Controlled Wood). This mix of materials promotes responsible forest management by enabling the parallel processing of both certified and non-certified wood*.

The organic company’s love of pasta is particularly evident in the selection of the best raw materials and the Byodo promise of enjoyment. Only sun-ripened, 100% organic Italian grain is used for the 19 durum wheat and 4 emmer semolina varieties. It is always freshly ground and processed into pasta in Italy. Traditional bronze dies slightly roughen the surface of the noodles when pressed so that they later combine perfectly with the sauce.

Byodo and its pasta – a German-Italian love story since 1992. 20 years ago, Byodo Naturkost GmbH was one of the first manufacturers to launch light-colored organic pasta on the market. At the time, it was absolutely innovative and required a lot of explanation, because until then only the wholemeal version had been known as organic pasta. Since then, the organic company has maintained a good partnership with its Italian pasta partners and has thus acquired a broad expertise in pasta over the past two decades.
