Mondi has worked closely with Noel Alimentaria to identify the best possible packaging solution for its range of meat and vegetable foods. This collaboration resulted in Noel Alimentaria choosing the Mondi PerFORMing paper tray to package its new range of plant-based foods and vegetarian burgers trueday.

Being formable, the trays can be molded and adapted to a range of food products of different sizes, with a high symmetrical elongation that allows uniform moldability, ideal for shallow food trays. PerFORMing provides a strong protective barrier against moisture and oxygen, keeping food fresh throughout the storage and distribution process. The trays are composed of a 80% paper, compared to the industry standard where they are made from 100% plastic, which means that the plastic content of the tray has been greatly reduced. The paper tray is designed for recycling and has passed the recyclability tests of the German institute PTS (Papiertechnische Stiftung, method RH:021/97).

At the same time, sustainability is high on our agenda, and it was a pleasure to work so closely with Mondi to find the most suitable solution.
