Biodegradable Fiber Packaging Could Replace Black Plastic
The latest contender for plastic packaging replacement could be Durapulp fiber, which is used to create biodegradable packaging to replace the black plastic trays often used in ready meals and raw beef products, says GlobalData (globaldata.com), a leading data and analytics company.
The producer, Finnish packaging manufacturer Huhtamaki, has been trialing Durapulp fiber in the ready meal category in the U.K. since May 2018 up until the end of June 2018. The company hopes that the trial will eventually lead to the adoption of biodegradable packaging in ready meals.
