Symington\u2019s has improved sustainability by becoming the first UK food producer to adopt Greiner Packaging\u2019s K3 r100 product.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company implemented the packaging in its Oatburst instant porridge brand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The K3 r100, a recent innovation from Greiner Packaging, features a self-separating mechanism that allows the cardboard and plastic components to automatically detach before reaching the recycling facility\u2019s near-infrared detection system.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This ensures accurate sorting and recycling, with the materials being directed to the correct streams for processing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The K3 r100 not only offers convenience and an appealing design but also boasts up to a 98% recyclability rate, a significant improvement over previous versions that relied on consumer intervention for separation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In January this year, the packaging solution received the World Star Packaging Awards and the Green Packaging Star Award from KOMPACK<\/em>, an Austrian magazine in October last year for its use by Berglandmilch in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n
