Multi-material packaging manufacturer Linpac Packaging has been granted a GB patent for its Rfresh® Elite range of trays for meat and poultry. The trays use a novel sealant technology on the tray flange to create a secure seal with the lidding film, thus removing the industry standard laminated PE base film. The rPET trays are 100% recyclable at the end of their service life and the removal of the traditional PE sealing layer, historically the most secure method of hermetic sealing, is intended to delight recyclers and help the UK meet ambitious new recycling targets.
