AUSTRIA: 100% recyclable paper-based food trays

In partnership with the Austrian dairy producer SalzburgMilch and SPAR, Mondi launched a fully recyclable 80% paper-based packaging solution for cold meats and cheese.

To keep food fresh and avoid waste, the shallow paper tray combines the recyclability of paper with the essential barrier properties of a thin plastic coating, which is fully removable to allow 100% paper recycling across Europe. Mondi Frantschach produces the base paper Advantage Formable, made predominantly from locally sourced wood, while the trays are processed and coated by Mondi Zeltweg. The new packaging will reduce plastic usage for SalzburgMilch by approximately 40 tons per year and the carbon footprint by two thirds.
