New Recyclable Packaging Launched for Fresh Produce

Klöckner Pentaplast (kp), a leading manufacturer of packaging solutions, has unveiled a new addition to its kp Infinity® portfolio with the launch of a recyclable fruit tray range specifically designed for fresh produce.

This innovative product is part of kp’s ongoing commitment to providing sustainable packaging options in the fresh produce sector.

The new fruit trays, made from expanded polypropylene (EPP), are designed to improve the recyclability of packaging while maintaining the quality and presentation of fresh fruit.

As the demand for eco-friendly packaging continues to rise, this development addresses a critical need among retailers, producers, and consumers.

The kp Infinity fruit trays offer a lightweight design that protects fresh fruit throughout the supply chain, reducing both product damage and waste.

Key Takeaways:
  • Klöckner Pentaplast launches recyclable fruit trays for fresh produce.
  • Trays made from expanded polypropylene (EPP) enhance recyclability.
  • Lightweight design reduces product damage and waste during transport.
  • Includes recycling instructions to promote proper consumer disposal.
  • Supports sustainability with lower carbon footprint and resource consumption.

These trays boast an artisan-style appearance that enhances the visual appeal of products, while their stackable format facilitates easier handling, transportation, and storage.

Importantly, the trays include recycling instructions for consumers, promoting proper disposal and recycling practices.

According to kp, these fruit trays have a lower carbon footprint and require less water and energy to produce compared to other packaging materials.

For customers seeking a comprehensive packaging solution, kp Infinity trays can be combined with kp FlexiStretch overwrap or kp FlexiFlow films.

This combination aims to provide optimal product protection and presentation, ensuring quality is maintained from the packing line to the retail shelf.

Austin Schwarz, Sales Director UK&I at kp Food Packaging, highlighted the growing need for recyclable solutions in the fresh produce sector and emphasized the benefits of sourcing a complete packaging solution from one supplier.

This approach not only streamlines procurement but also guarantees consistent performance across the supply chain.

The launch of the kp Infinity fruit tray range marks an expansion of kp’s fresh produce packaging portfolio, reinforcing its focus on recyclable solutions for the industry.

As businesses and consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability, innovations like these are crucial in reducing environmental impact while maintaining product integrity.

With this new offering, Klöckner Pentaplast continues to lead the way in developing packaging that meets the evolving needs of the produce industry and its commitment to environmental responsibility.
