Parkside has launched its latest flexible packaging innovation, Popflex lidding film, providing a recyclable solution for fresh produce packers and growers.
When paired with and weld-sealed to a matching PET tray, the film is designed to stay attached to the tray throughout the recycling process, reducing the risk of PET material contaminating PP and PE recycling streams. This means the solution is OPRL-certified as recyclable in kerbside collection schemes, meaning the end user can simply drop the entire pack into their recycling bin after use.
The film is laser-scored using patented ParkScribe technology to create an integral opening flap that end users can press down, pop open and peel back, creating a simple opening experience for consumers. The film is breathable when using the option of macro perforation to prolong the shelf life of the produce, and is made using recyclable PET containing a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled content film. It is a mono PET rather than duplex like Parkside’s laser-scored lidding, which means it uses less plastic but has the same recyclable classification.
