Avery Dennison: Heat-seal solutions against food waste
A functional lidding solution for food tray packaging to allow better food preservation and reduce food waste.
1. Open close heat-seal film for better food preservation
2. Less plastic than hard lid plastic solutions
One third of all food ends up being wasted, and over 60% of this waste derives from the food packaging. Our heatseal reclosure liding solution offers a simple and effective solution to reduce food waste and offer a better consumer experience by preserving the quality of food products for consumers.
The solution is a thermal sealed construction to replace current one time open heatseal films or remove hard lid packages. It will cover the full opening of the plastic food tray and can be open and closed multiple times at the pleasure of the consumer. This solution is particularly effective in preserving food products that are not meant to be consumed at once after the package is opened (cold cuts, sliced cheese, salads, berry fruits, pastries...)
Additionally, this functional lidding solution is compatible with current plastic food trays and can be applied using existing heat-seal machine. It can be adopted by the food packaging companies without the need for any investment.
Offering consumers a packaging solution that enables them to extend the shelflife of their food stuff, and preserve the quality of the goods. Less waste, more sustainable, and more value and consumable product for their money
Moreover, this solution also allows packaging companies and brands to reduce the total packaging weight and amount of plastic used by adopting a lighter, more functional solution. Plus, the heat-seal reclosure solution does not require any additional investment to replace standard heat-seal films on the packaging line.
