FiberWise, a division of Hartmann, will showcase its ‘revolutionary’ fibre-based tray solutions, designed to meet the demand for sustainable alternatives in the fresh meat and convenience foods sectors, at Packaging Innovations & Empack next month.
Made from 100% renewable resources, the trays are said to reduce plastic usage by 70% compared to traditional PET or PP plastic trays.
The new tray solution integrates into standard re-pulping processes, while the separability of the components allows for easy recycling of both the fibre and plastic parts.
One of the key advantages of FiberWise is its compatibility with existing production lines. The ‘robust’ design of the tray allows for integration into standard tray-sealing machines. The trays are designed to run at high speeds on existing tray sealer lines, sealing against a variety of standard top film options.
Kati Ørskov, business unit director at Hartmann, said, “FiberWise presents a viable, eco-friendly alternative with the potential to transform the packaging market over the long term. Our goal is to lead the way in innovation by offering solutions that reduce environmental impact while maintaining high-quality standards.”
FiberWise will be on display at Packaging Innovations & Empack from February 12-13 at the NEC in Birmingham.
