Yangi, a developer of industrial dry forming technology, will showcase an efficient and economical dry forming fiber-based MAP tray for fresh food applications at interpack 2026. Yangi develops and supplies the machine platforms that enable this shift, supporting the transition to next-generation fiber packaging at scale.
As demand grows for scalable alternatives to plastic, the packaging industry is actively seeking solutions that combine sustainability with industrial performance. At Interpack 2026, Yangi will demonstrate how this transition is becoming a practical reality.
Showcased at the Mondini stand Hall 5, Stand F24, the fiber-based MAP tray serves as a proof point of what is possible when fiber is engineered using Yangi’s proprietary technology platform. While designed for applications such as fresh meat, poultry, fish, and ready meals, the tray demonstrates how dry forming can meet the functional and operational requirements of modern food packaging. “This demonstrates what our Cellera technology enables,” says Anna Altner, Founder of Yangi. “We are proving that fiber-based packaging can meet industrial performance requirements and scale.”
Enabling a new standard in molded fiber with Yangi's FiberIQ® system
While Wet pulp aims to be sustainable, it consumes significant energy and water. Paper thermoforming is constrained in terms of geometry. Both technologies fall short in areas where plastics still lead, particularly for deep, rigid, and highly functional packaging. Yangi’s Dry-forming Cellera® technology addresses these challenges by enabling fiber-based packaging with greater design freedom, strength, efficiency and cost savings.
Yangi’s FiberIQ® system enables precise control of fiber distribution and material architecture. Fiber is transformed into a programmable material system with consistent and repeatable performance. Combined with the Cellera® platform, which not only eliminates the water process entirely but enables a high-efficiency production, the technology delivers stable industrial output with cycle times of 4 seconds.
The MAP tray is the proof of what’s possible
The MAP tray is designed for compatibility with high-speed tray sealing systems and supports modified atmosphere packaging while maintaining structural integrity across chilled, frozen, and heated conditions. It combines predictable performance with premium surface quality, enabling packaging producers and brands to transition from plastic without compromising efficiency or shelf impact.
