Kl\u00f6ckner Pentaplast (kp) has introduced kp Evolve Fish Boards for vacuum skin packaging used in processed fish products.<\/p>\n

The company said the boards may include as much as 100% recycled material, as manufacturers face tighter regulatory demands.<\/p>\n

The product uses a lightweight single-material format intended to reduce carbon impact and minimise EPR charges in most European markets.<\/p>\n

The open-flap structure is designed to improve pallet use and support transport efficiency.<\/p>\n

The boards are intended to provide reliable vacuum-skin performance and clear product presentation and can be recycled through existing PET recycling systems.<\/p>\n

The design is based on kp Zapora retention-chamber geometry, which removes the need for absorbent pads and adhesives.<\/p>\n

The system channels liquid released from the fish away from the surface into small vacuum retention areas, with the aim of limiting fluid build-up and reducing the chance of leaks in transport and handling.<\/p>\n

The pack can be rinsed after use and then recycled through established PET collection and processing streams.<\/p>\n

kp food packaging launch manager Paul Rawlings said: \u201ckp Evolve Fish Boards are engineered for smooth runs on high-speed automated packing lines thanks to the board\u2019s central section, which enhances overall strength and processing efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor brands looking to advance their sustainability commitments and reduce environmental impact without compromising on performance, kp Evolve\u202fFish Boards offer an effective and commercially ready solution.\u201d<\/p>\n
