Yangi has reached a significant milestone: takeaway trays produced on its industrial demo line in Varberg are now being used to serve real customers, through a collaboration with Flavor Boss, a multi-award-winning food truck and catering business operating across Sweden, providing direct feedback on handling, functionality, and everyday usability under real operating conditions.
"These trays are brilliant for a busy service. They come apart easily— no fussing with trays sticking together — they look great, and most importantly, they're sturdy enough that people can walk around a festival with a full tray in one hand without it giving way," said Patricia Dianda, owner at Flavor Boss.
Yangi's dry-forming technology produces fibre-based packaging without the water-intensive processes required by conventional fibre forming, significantly reducing resource consumption and CO₂ emissions compared with plastic alternatives, with end products compatible with existing paper recycling streams.
Barrier performance sits at the heart of Yangi's material recipe development and is what enabled their takeaway range to be a viable option in real food service applications. A tray or bowl needs to handle oil and moisture for the duration of a meal, not for days. Yangi's tailored material recipe with integrated barrier chemistry is matched exactly to that requirement without the plastic or multilayer materials that add complexity well beyond what the product's lifespan or end-of-life management warrants.
The collaboration marks the first public introduction of Yangi's quick-serve and takeaway packaging range, a growing offering that includes lids for hot and cold beverages, bowls, and plates, amongst other items, designed to replace single-use plastic in food service settings. Yangi’s industrial demo line in Varberg provides brands and retailers with a practical route to market-test dry-formed fibre packaging in real operating conditions before committing to high-volume production.
“Seeing Yangi trays being used to serve real customers is a proud moment for our team,” said Anna Altner, Founder of Yangi. “Years of research, engineering, product development, and controlled production have led to this point. It is a powerful demonstration that dry-formed packaging is entering the world in a real way.”
