last month albert heijn announced that they would like to reduce the number of packaged products in the produce section. approximately a month after the announcement reactions from customers have been positive, according to the supermarket chain. but this move also raises questions. is ah striving towards a package free fruit and vegetable department how do you prevent organic products and conventional products from sharing the same packaging and what about packaging that lengthens shelf life&quotduring the last period a number of fruit and vegetable products were studied to see whether they could go without packaging,&quot says anoesjka aspeslagh, spokeswoman for albert heijn. &quotbased on that research we have decided to sell only some of the products without packaging from now on.&quotdistinguishing organic and conventionalin order to the make the distinction between regular and organic products, a package or clear label is needed. &quotif we sell the regular product loose, then we&39ll package the organic one. if a product only comes organic, such as white and red cabbage, then we don&39t have to package the product to make a distinction.&quotthe supermarket is trying to reduce the amount of packaging winding up in the garbage. this is why packaging is not always chosen as a way to distinguish between products. for example, the organic leek gets a tag to avoid confusion. &quotsometimes there is a chance for confusion, but that is not reason enough for us to continue packaging products that don&39t need to be packaged to increase shelf life andor quality.&quotpackage free and shelf lifeon the other hand this move does not mean that the chain is trying to create a package free produce section. &quotsometimes packaging is necessary for part of the year, for example, for the protection or longer shelf life of a product. if a package is necessary, we choose the most appropriate and most sustainable package, with a focus on the saying &39reduce, reuse, recycle&39 and the use of renewable raw materials.&quotthis allows for new techniques to be brought in, new techniques that can, for example, extend the shelf life of a product. &quotfor each product we are looking for the right balance between quantity and type, and packaging and shelf life. we are incorporating new techniques into this move.&quotmove to fully organicwould this not just shift the problem if the consumer still puts their products into a bag, does it still yield results &quotultimately, less plastic will be used if we sell these products without packaging because there are a number of large products that do not need their own plastic bag, like pointed cabbage.&quotalthough albert heijn sees the demand for organic products growing, the supermarket is not attempting to create a fully organic produce section. &quotin recent months we have greatly expanded our range of organic products. however, we always want to offer our customers a choice, therefore a fully organic produce section is not yet on the agenda.&quot&nbsp
