The winning kp MonoSeal® HB R solution with an EVOH-free barrier, replaces non recyclable multilayer materials with a single material PET structure designed for recycling. It incorporates up to 50% post consumer recycled content - including kp Tray2Tray® material sourced from closed loop tray recycling. The material is recyclable and fully aligned with upcoming PPWR requirements.
Following extensive production line, machinability and shelf life testing across GranTerre’s full range of sliced cooked and cured meats, the new pack has been validated as a high performing, future ready alternative that reduces reliance on virgin plastic and supports high quality recycling streams.
“This project shows what can be achieved when performance and recyclability are treated as equal priorities. By working closely with kp, we have validated a new packaging solution that protects product quality while significantly improving its end of life recyclability. This award recognises our shared commitment to innovation, sustainability and responsible packaging design.” said Marco Alberti R&D Packaging Manager GranTerre.
