Why Paperseal® G.Mondini has been focusing on green packaging solutions
for over 10 years to minimize the use of plastic. G.Mondini has identified and
developed packaging solutions aimed at maximizing the reduction in the
effective quantity of plastic used in packaging, without compromising
performance in terms of shelf life and pack appearance.
In the present case, as regards to Paperseal®, about two years ago, following
various market analysis carried out in collaboration with some of the main
players in the GDO, we identified the consumer's request for packaging
solutions that are more easily recyclable and compatible with currently
available infrastructure.
Our Research and Development department has therefore identified virgin
paper as the main component to be used, which today is the most easily
introduced material in the recycling chain.
Hence the challenge; use paper as the main component guaranteeing the
durability performance of the food product.
We have therefore developed the
Paperseal® system: the pre-cut flat
cardboard is automatically transferred
to the forming area where the pre-cut
kit of the liner (barrier plastic sheet
with a thickness not exceeding 100
mic.) cuts the film and upon transfer of
the same to the mold where the tray is
laminated and formed. The plastic film
is applied in the tray and guarantees
the achievement of the useful life of the food product (same as in the
commonly used plastic based systems).
