Forestry industry company Mets\u00e4 Group and Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, announced a strategic collaboration to develop three-dimensional moulded fibre packaging solutions with lidding and liner for a variety of food applications. The collaboration aims to leverage both companies’ expertise in innovative packaging technologies to create cycle-ready products that meet the growing demand for sustainable alternatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the collaboration, Muoto\u2122, a wood-based moulded fibre packaging solution developed by Mets\u00e4 Spring, Mets\u00e4 Group\u2019s innovation company, will be combined with Amcor\u2019s advanced high-barrier film liner and lidding technology. Joining forces, the companies aim to deliver an innovative fibre-based food packaging that protects perishable food products and extends shelf life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Made from locally sourced pulp coming from traceable Nordic forests, Muoto is a renewable and recyclable alternative to plastic packaging. By integrating Amcor\u2019s laminated film, Muoto gains enhanced functionality. The fibre package jointly developed by the companies can be sealed with a heat-sealed lid structure, which is central to a certain type of food packaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jarkko Tuominen<\/strong>, Vice President, Projects, Mets\u00e4 Spring, said, \u201cOur collaboration with Amcor represents a significant step forward in more sustainable packaging innovation. Mets\u00e4 Group and Amcor have a longstanding relationship built on a shared commitment to reducing our environmental impact. Together, we are redefining the future of food packaging.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amcor offers a variety of fibre-based packaging solutions across its AmFiber\u2122 global portfolio and specialty cartons products. Amcor\u2019s AmFiber\u2122 products are currently on store shelves across the globe and are available for a wide range of applications including snacks and confectionary, dry culinary and beverage, meat, dairy and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ilya Syshchikov<\/strong>, Amcor\u2019s Vice President, Fiber, said, \u201cI am excited about this collaboration with our good partner Mets\u00e4. Both parties bring a wealth of materials, packaging and market knowledge to deliver more sustainable solutions to our customers with exceptional quality, functionality and efficiency.\u201c <\/p>\n\n\n\n The full solution will be recyclable in the paper stream in most markets with CEPI recyclability score of over 80%. In the longer term, the ambition is to develop a fully compostable solution. The first products from this partnership are expected to be commercially available in Europe this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Forestry industry company Mets\u00e4 Group and Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, announced a strategic collaboration to develop three-dimensional moulded fibre packaging solutions with lidding and liner for a variety of food applications.
