SMURFIT Kappa has announced its MB12 carton is now available for primary packaging following a year-long study into its effectiveness.
The MB12 technology is designed to prevent the migration of mineral oil into packaged food. Smurfit Kappa said a study by the Technical University of Dresden found that MB12 was the most effective product on the market for protecting packaged food against potential contamination.
Lars Henriksson, VP of product development at Smurfit Kappa’s paper division said, “Our customers have a diverse set of needs and we are committed to helping them find the right primary packaging for their requirements. Product safety remains at the forefront of what we do as an industry.
“Developing our unique MB12 primary packaging further demonstrates how we are innovating to provide a broad range of sustainable solutions for our customers that not only meet all food safety standards but that go one step further.”
MB12 is made using natural ingredients in recycled board. It is said to be fully recyclable, can be delivered as FSC chain-of-custody certified, and is available in a range of weights.
