COLPAC has confirmed the launch of its new range of FSC-certified multi-food pots.
Manufactured in the UK, the pots are described as a ‘versatile’ food-to-go packaging solution. With a ‘maximum’ of 7% plastic in the bases, Colpac revealed the new range meets OPRL guidelines for recyclability for 2023 and beyond.
The pots offer printed kraft and natural kraft options, both using FSC materials. They are available in four different sizes from 470ml through to 1,300ml and are suited to a range of dishes from salads to hot food-to-go.
The bases have a PE coating which provides a barrier to moisture and grease. With a large surface area, Colpac added that each pot can be fitted with a ‘clear, secure, anti-mist’ lid. The lids are made from rPET and contain more than double the 30% recycled content threshold outlined in the plastic packaging tax.
The natural kraft range is sold separately to the rPET lids, offering the option to heat seal and label the bases instead.
Colpac said the UK production of the pots reduces lead times and enables greater flexibility for bespoke printing.
“With the launch of our new multi-food pots, we have created a solution that is quality led and offers a secure supply chain,” said Kate Berry, Colpac’s head of marketing & product. “The new natural kraft range gives excellent on-shelf presence, appealing to environmentally driven consumers, and most importantly is manufactured in the UK.”
