New RetortPouch has punch

In October, Mondi launched its all-new high-barrier pouch for food and wet-pet-food applications. Its latest Recyclable RetortPouch has plenty of punch as it replaces existing multi-layer and unrecyclable packaging, for a wide variety of food and wet-pet-food products

Mondi has introduced a new high-barrier pouch for food and wet pet food manufacturers

The leading packaging and paper group, Mondi, has introduced a new high-barrier pouch called: RetortPouch Recyclable, which is designed for both food and wet-petfood manufactured products. According to Mondi, moist or semi-moist foods that are heat-treated in steam or hot water retort vessels to achieve a commercial level of sterilisation, require this highly specialised, retort-packaging solution for long-shelf-life products.

This new, fully recyclable mono-material is designed to protect the product as well as minimising any potential food wastage. It also offers enhanced shelf-life for any monomaterial solution. Furthermore, Mondi confirmed that it has spent more than two years working on the new product’s development as well as on a rigorous testing programme. This was carried out to ensure that it could easily meet all diverse and significant application requirements.

This latest sustainable product from Mondi is part of the company’s MAP2030 strategy, which plans to make all its product’s reusable, recyclable or compostable by the year 2025.

Mondi Korneuburg’s managing director Eveline WagnerHahn said: “Sustainability is a top priority for Mondi and we are committed to make this innovation available for all our customers using our customer-centric ‘EcoSolutions’ approach. Our fully recyclable RetortPouch Recyclable solution helps to lower the product’s environmental footprint and customers can be confident that their products will be completely protected throughout the manufacturing process and their transportation considerations in order for them to meet their own sustainability goals”

Kornenburg added, “This is another example of our awardwinning expertise in creating sustainable food packaging, whilst delivering circular-driven solutions that work for the customer, the end user and the environment.” It is also worthy of note that in August of this year, Mondi launched a new range of sustainable corrugated packaging solutions for the online grocery market across Central Europe.

Today, Polypouches’ ‘stand-up-pouches’ are increasingly popular in the flexible packaging industry due to their versatility and environmental benefits, especially when compared to other packaging methods. Stand-up pouches are the most flexible and adaptable type of packaging, and make it possible to customise the shape, size and materials according to your unique product specifications. Pouches are also lightweight and reduce storage space. Plastic pouches use fewer resources to produce than other common types of packaging such as plastic tubs and tins. They also cut down the environmental impact of your products by reducing the carbon footprint during transportation and producing less wastage on disposal. Stand-up pouches are an ideal food packaging solution thanks to their durability and ease of transportation. What’s more, Polypouch’ microwaveable food pouches are made from laminated PET and LLDPE food grade materials, produced to withstand extreme temperatures and variable high pressure. The company’s high-barrier food pouches are also an ideal choice for keeping products fresh for longer, thanks to their protective layer which keeps outside elements such as moisture, dust, oxygen and UV light from entering the Today,
