PFF Group has launched a ‘groundbreaking’ fully recyclable packaging product, which it says is suitable for all food applications.
Known as IMPAC-T, it comes following an ‘increasing demand’ from food manufacturers for a plastic reduction.
The firm said that the new concept uses less plastic than equivalent PET packaging and can typically be used for dairy products as well as ‘an array’ of other produce.
It added that it uses a minimum of 50% PCR PET and up to 100% PCR card with any virgin board content sourced from certified sustainable forestry.
The plastic and card can be ‘easily’ separated and both components reprocessed back into packaging, allowing for it to be fully recyclable.
PFF group sales director, Ian Smith, said, “We have developed this concept and invested in innovative manufacturing processes to produce a new unique, light weight, recycled PET hybrid pack designed for use by food manufacturers.
“IMPAC-T is intrinsic to PFF’s core values of innovation, sustainability and creativity. We are proud to bring this new product to market and showcase our credentials as a leading independent UK food packaging manufacturer committed to the complete recycling process.
“As well as being designed for the dairy sector, IMPAC-T can be used for a range of other food applications where sealed in freshness and strong branding are essential.”
