The demand for vegan products is increasing.
Studies have found that around 2% of the Australian
population followed a vegan diet in 2019 and around 12% were
vegetarian. A Google Trends analysis by the Australian food blog
Chef's Pencil has also shown that Australia is the world's second most popular
country for vegans after the UK. Almost 9% of new products in
Australia are vegan and do
not contain any animal-derived ingredients.
One of the main reasons for a vegan or vegetarian diet is
climate consciousness. Veganz addresses this issue across the board
with its hand-topped, environmentally-friendly pizzas.
Laying all the facts on the table – purely plant-based Veganz
pizza with a sustainability score
Italian in taste, vegan in recipe and sustainable in terms of
agriculture, production, packaging and transport – the Veganz
pizzas easily meet all the criteria and combine transparency,
conscious consumption and authentic enjoyment.
With the Eaternity label, Veganz is setting a new industry
standard for sustainability and transparency. Thanks to the
sustainability score, the carbon footprint, water consumption,
rainforest deforestation and animal welfare are all visible
directly on the product. This shows consumers the actual resource
consumption of the Veganz Pizza Verdura.
"For me, this is a huge step forward within our industry,
which is very much in need of transparency and more
sustainability," says Jan Bredack, CEO and founder of
Veganz.
By selling over 1.5 million Verdura pizzas alone, more than
915 tons of CO₂ were saved in 2020.
"It's great to see how the increasing demand for
plant-based products is driving rapid changes in Australia, and we are very excited to partner
with Woolworths, who will offer our top-selling vegan veggie pizza
Verdura in their frozen pizza range", states Anna Brandt, Veganz Country Manager Australia –
Oceania.
In addition to Woolworths, the Veganz pizzas will be available
at the Vegan Grocery Store in Sydney, Melbourne and online. The Vegan Grocery
Store is the first Australian retail partner with the full
Veganz pizza range and delivers to customers Australia-wide via its online store.
