A fully fibre-based chilled food packaging solution
Company:
UPM Specialty Papers and Fazer
Country: Finland
Category: Food
UPM Specialty Papers and Fazer have co-created an innovative, recyclable fibre-based packaging solution for Fazer’s Oat Rice Pies. No plastic lamination layer is needed to protect the product or for heat sealing the packaging.

The packaging solution reduces the use of fossil-based materials and improves recyclability. The packaging also safeguards the taste and food safety of the Fazer Oat Rice Pies until their best-before date.

Unlike traditional plastic-coated papers, the barrier paper can be sent directly from the paper mill to the printer, avoiding one conversion step of adding plastic lamination layer. This translates to 1,000 kg of plastic saved each year.

The solution is based on the UPM ConfidioTM barrier paper. Made from renewable fibres, UPM Confidio is repulpable and designed to be recycled in regular fibre recycling streams (reject rate 1 %). As a barrier paper, UPM Confidio combines moisture and grease resistance with excellent heat seal properties.
