Koehler Paper, in partnership with Italian pasta company Astrabio, has developed a new type of packaging paper for pasta packs. The “Koehler NexPlus Seal Pure” paper is heat-sealable, reduces the carbon footprint of packaging, and is recyclable. It is also strong enough to be used on standard packaging machines and protects the product inside. This innovative packaging is designed to provide a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging. Meanwhile, Tesco has introduced home-recyclable paper packaging for its luxury dried pasta range, which is compatible with household recycling bins. Additionally, UPM Specialty Papers and Michelman have partnered to create three paper-based solutions that can replace non-recyclable packaging for brand owners, meeting their food contact and recyclability requirements. These innovations are part of a larger trend towards more sustainable packaging solutions.
