For his part, Ramon Rivera, Operations Director of Grupo Bimbo, commented, “we are very proud of this step that we are taking in our country, we are migrating to new degradable packaging in stages, beginning with our line of Bimbo White Loaf Bread ‘Pan Blanco Bimbo’, to subsequently incorporate the buns’ lines and then continue to add all of our products and those of other regions in Latin America.”
