Berry demonstrates its expertise in design for circularity with the newly launched resource efficient food packaging solution that cuts plastic content by 60% compared to similar solutions.
The new CombiLight™ pot meets increasing demand from food producers for packs that are lightweight, strong and responsible. Developed, designed and manufactured by Berry, it is made using less fossil material because it sophisticatedly combines a plastic structure with coated natural fibres, as Søren Marcussen, Regional Director, Region Nordic, of Berry explains:
The outstanding feature of this pioneering packaging solution is actually invisible. A fine plastic structure supports a coated fibre pot. We have been able to reduce the plastic content by 60% compared to other similar solutions. Still, CombiLight™ is strong, stable and compatible with existing filling lines.”
In addition, the CombiLight™ pot is grease resistant and particularly suitable for dairy applications such as yogurt, cream cheese and cottage cheese. It is also ideal for other food products which do not require hot filling, including spreads, biscuits and confectionery.
The lightweight packaging solution is membrane sealed and comes with several lid options. It is currently available in 210ml, 245ml, 460ml and 560ml sizes, with further sizes in development.
