A lot of world-famous companies are changing plastic packaging for their products to paper packaging, which is suitable for further processing and use. Food products are no exception.

Unilever announces the transition of its Pot Noodle brand of instant noodles to paper packaging. Now a trial batch has been released, which has already appeared in Tesco supermarkets. However, we can safely assume that with a positive attitude of buyers to the new packaging, the release will not be limited to a trial batch, because. this will allow the company to reduce the use of plastic to 4,000 tons per year. The company claims that one ultra-thin layer of plastic film applied to provide barrier protection, keep ingredients fresh and protect paper from water damage does not affect the recyclability of the packaging. And you can recycle it like regular cardboard or paper.

The packaging of the famous Pringles is now also recyclable. The steel base built into previous tubes has been replaced with a paper fiber alternative that is glued to the bottom of the package. And now, after removing the plastic cap from the tube, it has become suitable for further processing like cardboard. The company intends to introduce appropriate technological changes at all its plants in Europe in the coming years.

So, although not quickly, manufacturers are finding ways to make their product packaging safer for the environment and more cyclical for the economy.
