TO mark Great British Beef Week 2025, flexible packaging specialist Korozo Group has reiterated its support for a global industry that demands ‘innovative and sustainable’ solutions.
Korozo provides lidding, skin, and thermoforming films suited to the needs of packaging complex proteins such as beef.
The firm also offers technical service to help customers run films effectively.
Irem Altinay, field sales manager in the UK & Ireland for Korozo Group, said, “The beef market is a sector that demands consistency, reliability, and innovation. We already work closely with several major meat processors and brands to supply high quality flexible packaging solutions that also support their sustainability goals.
“Sustainable packaging is becoming critical to the long-term success of the British beef industry. Consumers are more environmentally conscious than ever, and retailers are under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint. Packaging must now deliver on both functionality and sustainability protecting the product while minimising environmental impact.
“We have a dedicated sustainability team that keeps track of upcoming UK legislation for recyclability, such pEPR. Solutions like recyclable films, downgauged materials, and mono-material structures are key to driving the industry forward.
“Korozo is actively investing in R&D to develop innovative, sustainable packaging that supports the needs of meat processors and retailers. Our R&D efforts provide recyclable flexible films and mono-material solutions that reduce plastic usage without compromising shelf life or product integrity.”
Kemal Yürüm, protein market segment manager at Korozo Group, added, “The meat, fish, and dairy sectors represent some of the most demanding applications in food packaging. With strict requirements for product protection, shelf-life extension, and food safety compliance, these markets require sophisticated packaging solutions that maintain product freshness while ensuring consumer convenience.
“Our expertise in film extrusion, knowledge of sustainable solutions, and close ties to the market provide an unrivalled offer for beef manufacturers, in the UK and around the world. We look forward to supporting the industry’s further growth with sustainable and circular packaging innovations.”
