The Product:

Lea & Perrins produce Worcestershire Sauce, which was first created by chemists John Wheeley Lea and William Henry Perrins of Worcester. They have created the sauce to a similar closely guarded recipe ever since, in the same factory that Lea and Perrins built in 1897. In 1906 the High Court declared that only Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce may be called 'Original and Genuine'. Over the years the company has been aligned with HP Sauce, the Danone Group and is now owned by Heinz. Currently the sales of Worcestershire sauce are in decline, with Heinz losing 8.3% a year and 55% of sales coming from households with no children, inspiring Lea & Perrins to reach out to a younger audience.

Heinz have already made their started making their Tomato Ketchup packaging more sustainable by making it out of PET Plastic...

PET Heinz Tomato Ketchup bottle
Having spearheaded the Top Down bottle revolution, our Heinz Tomato Ketchup bottle enjoyed a re-design that engineered sustainability in with brand reinforcement.
Switching to crystal-clear PET plastic emphasises the naturally rich red Heinz tomatoes. This in addition to a weight saving of between 10% and 16% per bottle, depending on size. We have also reduced our carbon footprint by sourcing our bottles locally and not transporting them across Europe.
These changes save close to 340 tonnes of plastic each year and the switch to PET makes recycling easier.
