MONDI has collaborated with Scan Sverige to create a polypropylene (PP) based mono-material packaging, that is designed for recycling.
Scan Sverige has over a century of experience in Swedish food production. The firm uses Mondi’s WalletPack for its Pärsons brand’s range of sliced ham, salami, and plant-based products.
The WalletPack is a PP based solution, developed with recycling in mind. Mondi said it can be effectively sorted by Site Zero, Europe’s largest plastic recycling facility located in Sweden. It replaces the previous solution, which was an unrecyclable multi-material pack that consisted of PET-PE and PA-PE laminates.
Featuring a top and bottom film, WalletPack has an easy peel mechanism and is created with a protective high oxygen barrier for a longer shelf-life.
Helene Brynell, regional sales Nordic, consumer flexibles, Mondi, said, “It was a pleasure working with Scan Sverige, bringing over a century of experience in responsible Swedish food production to the table. The team closely oversees the full farm to fork value chain, which seamlessly aligns with our values. Throughout the trial process, we were both focusing on the same clear goals: to best protect the food while developing packaging that could deliver from a sustainability standpoint, being designed for recycling.”
Scan Sverige and Mondi initiated discussions about the mono-material packaging two years ago.
Eva Tiedman, category manager Scan Sverige, added, “The Mondi WalletPacks will be used on a wide range of sliced products for Pärsons’ cold cuts. We knew Mondi was the right partner to achieve our goals and are delighted to see the new solution running efficiently on our existing machinery.”
