Why Is Talenti In Plastic?

I NOTICED MY TALENTI PINT NO LONGER HAS A PLASTIC SEAL AROUND THE LID.IS THIS NORMAL? Starting in January 2019, Talenti removed the non-recyclable plastic bands around the lids of our products. This is an initiative that will reduce waste sent to the landfill, which is in accordance with Unilever’s Sustainable Living Plan goals.

Talenti gelato is particularly special because we make it from scratch with the finest ingredients from around the world, and use an old world process that involves slow cooking our ingredients and making our gelato in smaller batches than most other ice cream in the US is made. To learn more about how Talenti is crafted, watch our video here.

Not only is your Talenti jar re-usable it is also BPA-free! For ideas on how you can reuse your Talenti jar, check out our Instagram page. We encourage you to post your #Pintcycling ideas on Instagram, we love seeing the creative ways our fans are reusing our jars long after the gelato is gone.

While the issue finally reached an apex on social media last night, Talenti provided Mic with a statement, blaming the problem on a new lid-capping machine that ostensibly does its job too well. “We recently got a new lid-capping machine that’s a bit too strong and hard to control,” the company said.
