The sustainable choice: Westaways’ pork burgers

Westaways are committed to sustainability, and their new cook-from-frozen pork burgers are a testament to this dedication. As the world increasingly seeks environmentally friendly food options, they believe their pork burgers offer a compelling, sustainable alternative to traditional beef burgers.

Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions
One of the most significant environmental benefits of choosing pork over beef is the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Producing 1kg of beef contributes 99kg of global greenhouse gas emissions, whereas 1kg of pork contributes only 12kg. This substantial difference makes pork a much more sustainable choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Reduced Water Usage
Water is a precious resource, and the production of pork requires significantly less water than beef. To produce 1kg of beef, 14,400 litres of water are needed, compared to just 6,000 litres for 1kg of pork. By choosing pork, consumers can help conserve water and support more sustainable agricultural practices.

Efficient Land Use
Pork production also requires less land compared to beef. Pigs grow faster and are better converters of feed into meat, making pork a more efficient and sustainable option. This efficient land use helps preserve natural habitats and reduces the strain on our agricultural systems.

Commitment to Innovation
As two-time winners of the Taste of the West’s Sustainability Award Westaways are constantly innovating to make their products more sustainable. The new cook-from-frozen pork burgers are designed with sustainability in mind, from the sourcing of ingredients to the production process. They strive to minimise their environmental impact while delivering high-quality, delicious products to their customers.

A Sustainable Future
As the market evolves, Westaways remains a trusted name, leading the way with an innovative approach and unwavering commitment to sustainability. The new pork burgers are not just a product; they are a promise of quality, innovation, and a more sustainable future.
