​Albina Snacks feels strongly committed and engaged in active and preventive environmental work as a natural component of our activities.

Albina Snacks is allied to REPA (RE-Purchase Agreement) in Sweden which is a packaging recycling and re-use program implemented in Europe, known at the Grune Punkt /The Green Dot in parts of Europe. The presence of Repa and Der Grüne Punkt trademark on a package shows that for that specific package a financial contribution was paid to a national package recovery organization.

​Since beginning importing raw nuts from all over the world in 2003, we are today dry roasting approximately 1,2 tonnes of raw nuts per hour in our plant in Berga, Helsingborg.

The time it takes for the nuts as raw ingredients to be roasted until they are ready to sell as consumer packs on the shop shelves is now down to maximum one week. The dry roasting method, which does not involve any extra oil being added, combined with our unique recipes from the Orient ensures a low fat content aswell as enhancing the delicious, geuine nut taste of our range of finished products.
