New biodegradable barrier reduces carbon footprint of ready meal retail
A biodegradable barrier tray which has been developed by KCC Packaging will enable retailers to move away from carbon-hungry CPET and aluminum throughout ready meal retail, according to its developer, Chartered Environmentalist Kevin Clarke.
The sustainable solution is ovenable, microwaveable and compostable, and according to Clarke, “does the same job on the same equipment as the trays that are currently in use.”
