UK supermarket chain Iceland has tapped Parkside to replace its LDPE bag for its Northcoast frozen seafood range with a recyclable paper pouch designed to resist the frost and moisture in a freezer for prolonged periods.
Parkside’s recyclable paper pouch creates heat saleability by using water-based coatings with high barrier performance that can break down when re-pulped in the paper recycling process.
The recyclable paper pouch is grease and oil-resistant.
According to Mark Armstrong, a packaging specialist at Iceland, bag sealing was a challenge, as was ensuring the material had the necessary barrier properties.
Until recently, achieving a high level of grease and oil resistance and heat seal ability for frozen food has been extremely challenging.”
Typically, a plastic layer such as Polyethylene would need to be extruded or laminated to the paper, which would then need to be removed when recycling post-consumer use. Parkside’s technology removes the need for plastic and gives a truly recyclable paper solution with the added benefit of high barrier functionality.
