THE 100% RECYCLABLE MEAT TRAY – NEW PACKAGING DOES AWAY WITH THROWAWAY ABSORBENT PADS
A Swansea researcher has invented a new type of plastic packaging for raw meat which avoids the need for non-recyclable pads inside the trays to soak up the juices, meaning the whole of the packaging tray can now be recycled.
The new packaging is already in use in mainstream UK retailers, helping to increase recyclability of more than 800,000 tonnes per year of food plastic packaging generated by UK supermarkets.
