Cascades, a provider of eco-friendly recycling, hygiene and packaging solutions, has introduced a container for fresh food packaging on the North American market: a cardboard tray certified according to Forest Stewardship Council standards, made from 100% recycled fibers, mainly from post-consumer sources, which is fully recyclable, according to a press release.
The tray can be completely recycled thanks to the use of a water-based barrier coating that protects it against humidity and thus enhances packaging efficiency without negatively affecting the recyclability of the cardboard. The patented coating is a recyclable and compostable replacement solution for traditional wax or plastic based applications widely used in cardboard food packaging, where cardboard recyclability poses some challenges.
The "made in Canada" packaging solution meets FDA requirements. Its resistance to humidity, and ability to maintain its rigid form when refrigerated, make it suitable for packaging fruits, vegetables and proteins. Its water-based barrier helps preserve the freshness of foods, thereby reducing food waste.
