SMURFIT Kappa has revealed it has developed a new sustainable solution for fast food following collaboration with packaging consultant Juozas Baranauskas.
The Twin Kraft Grease Guard MB12, created for Lithuanian restaurant Fresh Post, is part of Smurfit Kappa’s Better Planet Packaging portfolio of products.
The new food box is made from the company’s Twin Kraft Solid Board, which is described as a paper-based mono-material for food packaging. By integrating the company’s MB12 technology, the recyclable material is said to be able to adsorb mineral oils, keeping food safe whilst protecting aroma and taste.
Arco Berkenbosch, Smurfit Kappa VP of innovation and development, said, “We work with customers of all sizes to help them realise their sustainability goals and present their products in the best and most sustainable way. We were delighted to work with Juozas on the creation of this innovative and sustainable packaging solution for Fresh Post.
“It’s yet another example of a Better Planet Packaging product with the potential to have a transformative effect on a sector. If all takeaway food providers were to switch to a paper-based material like Twin Kraft Solid Board, the impact would be significant.”
