There's a reason your Sam's Club rotisserie chicken looks different
Briefly

Sam's Club has revamped its Member's Mark rotisserie chicken packaging to enhance sustainability. The new clamshell tray features a top made from the usual polypropylene and a bottom that combines proprietary polypropylene with postconsumer recycled content. This change eliminates the black carbon mineral filler, allowing for a neutral sand color and making it recyclable. Each tray repurposes 7.5 bottle caps, contributing to a 25% reduction in virgin plastic. The tray is designed to be microwavable, reusable, and safe for cleaning, aligning with broader sustainability efforts among retailers.

Manufactured by Sabert, the new clamshell packaging has been designed to be microwavable, reusable, and dishwasher safe while preventing visibility of juices and stains.
Sam's Club aims to improve its competitive edge in the market by modernizing its private-label offerings, particularly in the face of competition from Costco's Kirkland brand.
