Parkside, an innovative packaging solutions provider specializing in compostable, recyclable, paper-based, and innovative plastic flexible packaging solutions for the food, personal & household care, and tobacco sectors has further boosted its award-winning portfolio of sustainable flexible packaging materials with the launch of a next-generation recyclable metalized barrier paper.
The metalized paper is part of the Recoflex range of recyclable paper-based solutions, which was launched earlier in the year. It offers groundbreaking heat sealability, superb printability, and excellent barrier performance, and can be converted on form, fill, and seal (FFS) and flow wrap packing lines.
It adds to the already extensive Recoflex portfolio, which includes Parkside’s revolutionary freezer-proof paper material (first commercialized last year), two configurations of Recoflex Translucent, a translucent barrier paper plus a flow-wrap solution for ambient food and non-food applications, and a high barrier performance paper.
“The most exciting thing about Recoflex has always been its potential for further growth and innovation,” explains Steve Hallford, New Product Development Technologist at Parkside. “We’re delighted to be able to add to the options our customers can explore with the launch of our recyclable metalized paper.
“We have taken the time to listen carefully to what our customers need from metalized material and have developed a solution that offers the functionality, performance, and operational efficiency that today’s market demands, while also meeting consumer demands for more recyclable packaging. As a result, the new metalized paper is ideal for many food and non-food applications, from coffee and snacks to healthcare products.”
The new material is compatible with current UK recycling infrastructure, meaning consumers can simply drop it into their domestic paper recycling bins after use.
“Our drive to keep improving access to recyclable flexible packaging means we look forward to growing the Recoflex range even further in the future,” added Hallford.
