Question from Antoine: When I buy bread from Spar, does the bag have a transparent window? Is it plastic? What to do with the packaging?
Spar belongs to the Colruyt group, to answer your question, Antoine, we therefore asked Colruyt regarding its bread bag policy. But that’s not where we found the answer, because the bread bags in Colruyt stores are 100% made of paper,”and the Spar who buy from us also have the same bags “says Nathalie Roison, communications officer.
But Spar franchisees have the latitude to choose where they buy both bread and packaging. Thus, in your Spar in Dolembreux, Antoine, the cut and pre-packaged bread comes from Lorraine Bakery Group, a company that delivers fresh breads, pastries and sandwiches daily to over 2000 supermarkets.
Lorraine, which is active in more than 35 countries, with bakery production in 9 countries, confirms that the transparent window is indeed plastic.
Do we recycle or not?
The plastic bag with a plastic window can go in the paper bins. “Ideally, it is better to remove the plastic to put it in the blue PMC bag, says Valérie Bruyninckx, spokesperson at Fostplus. M But it’s a bit tedious, I admit. Anyway, as it is organised, paper recycling makes it possible to recycle packaging where there is a small amount of plastic, which is removed from the paper fibers at the appropriate time. “
