Rottneros Packaging, a provider of thermoformed moulded pulp packaging solutions, is poised to introduce its NATURE range of sustainable food packaging trays at the upcoming Packaging Innovations & Empack event.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The event will take place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, UK, on 12 and 13 February 2025, offering a platform for Rottneros to present its packaging solutions.<\/p>\n

Rottneros Group\u2019s trays in the new range are claimed to have been produced using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified raw materials sourced from Northern Europe and are manufactured with renewable energy.<\/p>\n

Comprising 86-98% renewable materials, the trays incorporate barrier properties that are designed to prolong the shelf life of food products while keeping plastic content under 10%.<\/p>\n

Fully recyclable within paper streams, the NATURE trays adhere to Confederation of European Paper Industries and 4EverGreen protocols.<\/p>\n

The trays are also said to feature biobased inner liners that can be separated and composted.<\/p>\n

The robust and lightweight design of the trays, made from virgin fibres, meets stringent hygiene standards and is compatible with modified atmosphere packaging and vacuum skin packaging.<\/p>\n

Rottneros provides customisable lining options such as microwavable and ovenproof solutions, to cater to specific customer requirements.<\/p>\n

With its enhanced barrier linings, the NATURE trays can extend the shelf life of food products for more than 50 days, contributing to the reduction of food waste.<\/p>\n

Designed for seamless integration into existing production lines, the solution offers both standard and custom sizes, ensuring the switch to renewable materials is both cost-effective and efficient for businesses.<\/p>\n

Rottneros Packaging sales and business development manager Alessandra Zanetti said: \u201cWe are committed to reducing food waste by producing trays with advanced barrier properties that optimise shelf life.<\/p>\n

\u201cSustainability is at the core of our mission, which is why our trays are primarily made from fibre sourced from sustainably managed forests.\u201d<\/p>\n
