Eatable Adventures and the Italia del Gusto food consortium unveil a new challenge, focusing on startups with innovative food packaging solutions aimed at minimizing plastic usage, extending shelf life, and optimizing processes.
At full capacity, the facility will recycle nearly 90 million pounds of plastic waste per year, enough to encircle the globe in pallet wrap more than 135 times. It is expected to employ nearly 200 people.
The move is one of few leadership changes in the company's 121-year history, including when the Schottland family purchased APC from the Kardon family in 1986.
Lecta also is working to develop other metallized papers aimed at the flexible packaging segment, providing functionalities such as oxygen barrier or high grease resistance without the use of fluorinated elements.
Molkerei Forster is using self-separating cardboard-plastic combinations for its Milbona brand 500g natural yogurts, which are sold by Swiss retailer Lidl Schweiz.
