Stora Enso, the brand is known for providing renewable solutions in packaging, biomaterials, wooden constructions and paper. “We believe that everything that is made from fossil-based materials today can be made from a tree tomorrow.”
Stora Enso continues to develop the Trayforma. Trayforma is a wood fibre-based material for varied uses such as a perfect ready meals packaging, enabling brand owners and retailers to switch from fully fossil-based materials to renewables.
The new Trayforma PET34 material continues to offer core properties such as food protection and heat resistance but has a significantly reduced amount of fossil-based barrier materials. When heating food in conventional oven, board materials need a PET coating to provide heat resistance and protect food. Meeting the threshold of 10% PET plastic will be an important step in producing trays made of Trayforma a better fit for fiber-based packaging recycling streams, and for achieving recyclable labelling in markets such as the UK.
“We believe Trayforma products will have many future applications because they are low-carbon and help brand owners reduce their carbon footprint and use of fossil-materials, offering these benefits to consumers. Thanks to its renewable origin in wood fiber and its optimised barrier options, Trayforma range offers the right performance and several alternatives for the ready meals category, now also better fit for recycling,” says Tuomas Puonti, VP, Head of Business Line LPB Fresh & FSB from Stora Enso.
Trayforma is a renewable wood fiber-based packaging solution for frozen and chilled food and safe for oven and microwave heating when functional barriers are used. Trayforma guarantees food safety and is highly formable and convertible.
