ACCELERATING SUSTAINABILITY - The future of food packaging
Together with our partners, we demonstrate a sustainable and future-oriented food packaging at K 2022. The yogurt cup is made of a certified, renewable PP. This material is based on tall oil, a waste product from paper production. MCC Verstraete's new NextCycle IML is fully compatible with the PP recycling stream and allows the packaging to be mechanically recycled without the label impacting the PP. Separation by material type is ensured by the integration of Holy Grail 2.0 digital watermarks. With our high-performance and energy-efficient ELIOS injection molding machine, we compensate for the firmer thickness of the new label in the injection molding process with a correspondingly thinner wall thickness of the cup.
