Recyclable PE-based thermoformed packaging with paper sleeve
Packaging for fresh, perishable products, e.g. sausages and meat, is often complex, multi-layered, flexible packaging made of different materials. The recyclability here is usually not high. The aim of this new packaging development was to make the packaging as recyclable as possible while maintaining product protection and efficiency in packaging production. With this newly developed vacuum packaging made of two adhesive-free, unprinted PE films, Wipak has developed packaging that is easy to recycle. A paper sleeve completes the concept. The banderole is intuitively separate for the consumer during use and can be disposed of and recycled with the waste paper. All the necessary product information is printed on the band, so that the plastic portion is completely unprinted when it is recycled, which has a positive effect on the quality of the plastic recyclate. The result is a very appealing, easy-to-handle and recyclable packaging with a CO2 footprint that is up to 30% lower.
