The Switzerland based subsidiary of Clondalkin Group Clondalkin Kirchberg has developed a PE based, aluminium-free butterfoil, offering a more sustainable option to the dairy sector.
Flow packs for butter are traditionally wrapped in aluminum or aluminum based laminates. So far, these structures have provided the best dead fold, which is required for application on filling lines. The companys investment in research and development has resulted in a film based alternative, which also provides these characteristics with improved sustainability in addition.
Sander Kool, commercial director of Clondalkin Kirchberg, says, "The environmental impact of packaging is at the forefront of the leading brands decision making processes.
"Our customers are constantly seeking more environmentally friendly solutions as a result of consumer demand. These requirements mean that we must look at reducing the carbon footprint of our product range, down gauge materials, reduce waste, consider the ease of recyclability and introduce alternative materials. This is now central to our business operation and the products that we develop.
"Sustainability is one of the key drivers of our corporate social responsibility policy. We put continuous effort in finding alternative resources and reducing carbon footprint. Following on from PET lidding, this is another example wher we have achieved another step towards improved sustainability for our customers."
