Lamb Weston, a frozen potato and fries company, has unveiled a recyclable paper fry bag for its products in the US, Packaging World<\/em><\/a> has reported.<\/p>\n

The new bag is said to be the outcome of years of development by the company\u2019s packaging engineers, who sought to create a more sustainable end-of-life option than the traditional polyethylene (PE) bags.<\/p>\n

However, the transition to paper packaging is said to have presented notable challenges, particularly the need for moisture and grease resistance, alongside durability and machinability.<\/p>\n

Lamb Weston\u2019s new bag, however, is promoted as biobased, indicating the potential use of a recyclable biopolymer coating to achieve the necessary functionality.<\/p>\n

Lamb Weston\u2019s packaging innovation team has reportedly conducted extensive testing to ensure the material\u2019s safety and quality.<\/p>\n

These tests included assessments of material properties, dynamics testing, and real-world trials.<\/p>\n
