SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES

Environmental concerns about plastics and plastic waste as well as single-use plastic bans in some states is changing food packaging for the better. Progressive businesses are looking for more sustainable, packaging solutions for both takeaway and ready meals.

When looking at alternatives to plastics, it is tricky to find products with the same or similar characteristics. Aluminium foil trays are insulating, hold liquid safely and can be frozen, refrigerated and heated in the oven or microwave.

And foil has substantially higher recycling value than most other materials as it is endlessly renewable.

Recyclable

Aluminium foil doesn’t lose any of its properties in the recycling process and can be recycled over and over again. In fact, some 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use – in some form or another.

COMPOSTABLE

Another new option from Confoil is DualPakECO – made from renewable fibre with a biopolymer coating, DualPakECO is certified compostable.

CIRCULARITY

As we work towards a circular economy with goals of zero waste and lower impact, we need to be looking to products that can be designed and manufactured to reduce raw material use and be reused or recycled, rather than be sent to landfill.
