We're taking care of waste by helping you to always recycle or reuse our tubs. Our recyclable packaging is designed to keep the great taste of Plastic waste ending up in nature is a challenge. Even though the amount of plastic waste sent to recycling has doubled since 2006*, we know there is still more that can be done to reduce our trace. Our tubs, made to protect the quality of our product, are already 100% designed to be recycled, but that’s not all. So, when you finish delicious Philadelphia and recycle the tub, you’ll be doing good by the planet. Confused about the right bin? check the recyclability claims on the tub to find out how you can recycle in your local area. Or go that extra step by reusing your empty tub. *PlasticsEurope (2019)

You might be surprised to learn that 53% of Food waste happens in Households; while just 30% happens in production or processing facilities*. So, like the friend to food we are, we’ve rustled up some recipes you won't want to go to waste. Why not show some love to your leftovers with a dollop of Philadelphia?
Milk, cream and a pinch of salt: the main ingredients that make our Original cream cheese. Keeping things simple means you can focus more on the irresistible creamy taste and texture you love. Whatever your dietary needs, you’ve got a friend in Philadelphia. We take care to cater to all our friends whenever we develop tasty new options. We’ve come up with a range that includes something for anyone wishing to lead a more balanced lifestyle, from light – and lightest – versions to protein-rich snacking options. There’s even something for the lactose sensitive or for those who prefer flavors. What’s more, the range has grown further with the launch of Philadelphia plant-based - vegan, made from oats and almonds, that helps take care of your wellbeing and the planet, making our product a great option for a flexitarian lifestyle.
Another way we work to leave fewer traces on our planet is by engaging suppliers to meet our animal welfare approach and by continuously improving good farm practices throughout our supply chain. The better cows are cared for, the better milk they produce. And great taste depends on quality milk. We’re also proud to say that in 2013 and 2020, Philadelphia received the Compassion in World Farming’s Good Dairy Award. This award recognizes companies that not only allow their cows to graze in open pastures during the grass growing season, but also for improving key welfare issues and overall health conditions. Another criteria is that producers rear all their calves in environments where they can socialise, provide them with adequate bedding, and feed a diet containing an appropriate amount of fibre. Good Animal Welfare practices also go hand in hand with C02 reduction programs: by improving housing and sanity plans for healthier cows, facilitating rumination & digestions we lower methane generation and producing better milk.
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our friendly farmers have to say
Meet our farming partners
My family has been dairy farming for generations. Over the years we constantly modernise how we manage the farm and take care of our cows. Making sure of ideal air conditions, freedom of movement, individual feeding and enough space for every single cow. We're also using solar power to help manage energy use on the farm. Taking care on the farm takes the effort and focus of all of us. Henning K.
We take better care of what happens behind the scenes, reducing waste at every step of the cycle. We make only what we think will sell with accurate sales forecasting. If we do end up with leftover stock, we’ll find a way not to waste it. Often, we’ll donate to charity partners. Plus, we ship as efficiently as possible to try and reduce carbon emissions. Alongside running a tight Knit -ship, we’re on the ground, working away to fight waste in all our products and packaging. And it’s working.
