Innovative collaboration for UK food market

{reg}

Mondi, a leader in sustainable packaging, has teamed up with Veetee to introduce recyclable paper-based packaging for dry rice in the UK, marking a significant industry first.

Mondi's customer-centric approach led to a tailored solution, combining paper and plastic to meet product, customer, and consumer needs. The entire process, from sourcing materials to delivery, was managed by Mondi.

The collaboration focused on crucial barrier properties, ensuring protection against moisture and extending shelf life. OPRL certification makes the packaging widely accepted for kerbside recycling in the UK.

James Yarrow, Mondi Regional Sales UK & Ireland Consumer Flexibles, expressed his satisfaction with the partnership, while James Brett, Veetee's Group Marketing Director, praised the achievement in eliminating unsustainable packaging.

This innovative partnership between Mondi and Veetee is a significant step towards sustainable packaging in the UK food market.
