Klӧckner Pentaplast recyclable packaging for the fresh food sector

Klӧckner Pentaplast (kp) makes sustainable and recyclable packaging for the fresh food sector.

With a site in Melbourne, the company has extruding and thermoforming equipment with super-cleaning technology for PET packaging, made using post-consumer recycled PET. With five years of BRC AA Standard Accreditation, it is a leader at closing the loop on plastic packaging.

Suitable for food retailers across Australia, as well as the growing food-to-go sector, kp creates rigid films for form, fill and seal applications and food trays. The products are designed to improve safety and extend shelf life to help reduce food waste.

The kp Elite range of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) trays is designed to meet the highest criteria of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation Ltd (APCO) for recyclability and full circularity.

The kp products are optimised for recycled content, downgauging, sealing efficiencies in speed and temperature, and recyclability to reduce the impact of packaging on the environment.
