Global sustainable packaging solutions company Yangi has reached a new milestone: takeaway trays produced on its industrial demo line in Varberg, Sweden, are now being used to serve real customers. Through a collaboration with award-winning Afro-Caribbean food truck Flavor Boss, Yangi will receive direct feedback on handling, functionality and everyday usability under operating conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese trays are brilliant for a busy service,\u201d said Patricia Dianda, owner of Flavor Boss, in a statement. \u201cThey come apart easily \u2014 no fussing with trays sticking together \u2014 they look great, and most importantly, they\u2019re sturdy enough that people can walk around a festival with a full tray in one hand without it giving way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The dry-forming technology from Yangi produces fiber-based packaging without the water-intensive processes often required by conventional fiber forming. This significantly reduces both resource consumption and CO2 emissions compared with plastic alternatives. End products are compatible with existing paper recycling streams, the company notes.<\/p>\n
At the heart of Yangi\u2019s material recipe is barrier performance, which is what enabled this takeaway range to be a viable option in real foodservice applications. A tray or bowl must handle oil and moisture for the duration of the meal, not for days, and this tailored material recipe \u2014 featuring integrated barrier chemistry \u2014 matches that requirement without the plastic or multilayer materials that add complexity beyond what the product\u2019s lifespan warrants, Yangi says.<\/p>\n
This collaboration is the first introduction of the company\u2019s quick-serve and takeaway packaging range. This growing portfolio includes lids for hot and cold beverages, plates and bowls all designed to replace single-use plastic in foodservice settings. Yangi\u2019s industrial demo line in Varberg offers brands and retailers a practical route to market-test dry-formed fiber packaging in real operating conditions before committing to high-volume production, it adds.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing Yangi trays being used to serve real customers is a proud moment for our team,\u201d said Anna Altner, founder of Yangi, in a statement. \u201cYears of research, engineering, product development and controlled production have led to this point. It is a powerful demonstration that dry-formed packaging is entering the world in a real way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yangi specializes in fiber-based technologies and materials, offering dry-forming technology that allows for the production of high-quality, cost-competitive and recyclable packaging. Compared to traditional methods, the company\u2019s approach significantly reduces CO2 emissions, water usage, and energy consumption. Through strategic collaborations such as this, the company aims to reshape the packaging industry with its sustainable alternatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
