Parkside Recoflex recyclable paper-based packaging

Parkside has launched of a range of recyclable, paper-based, flexible packaging materials.

The range of Recoflex papers is available as a single-ply or laminate in several specifications, and offers durability, barrier performance and good heat sealability, making it suitable for a number of market applications.

The various specifications will launch in a phased rollout beginning in April, with several new innovations being released to join Parkside’s freezer-proof paper material (first commercialised last year). It will be joined by two configurations of Recoflex Translucent, a translucent barrier paper that can be used for pouches, bags or lidding film suitable for a range of fresh food applications. Also launching in the first phase is a flow-wrap solution for ambient food and non-food applications, alongside a high barrier performance paper that is compatible with both horizontal and vertical form, fill and seal lines, which is suitable for products requiring higher moisture and oxygen barriers.

The second phase, set to launch a little later in 2024, will bring a kraft paper and a metallised solution to the market. All of the Recoflex configurations are designed to be fully recyclable in kerbside collection schemes.
