Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY
Atlanta, Georgia based Graphic Packaging International, a fiber-based consumer packaging company, has partnered with Picadeli to develop a new range of plastic-free paper- board lids for its paper-based salad bowls. The performance of the new paperboard lids means Picadeli can replace its entire line of plastic lids, eliminat- ing another 250 metric tons of plastic from its supply chain every year. The new lids are recyclable in household pa- per waste streams and are made from renewable plant- based fiber sourced from sustainably managed forests.

The innovation offers a secure snap closure system that represents an upgrade on the performance of Picade- li's previous solution. “Everything we do, we do for our customers, and so it’s always pleasing to develop innovations that deliv- er on our customers’ expectations so emphatically,” said Åke Larsson, Managing Director of Graphic Packaging’s Tibro plant. “The new lids offer the functionality required for Picadeli to eliminate plastic salad bowl lids from their supply chain. They also offer great branding benefits via high-quality printing onto the lid using water-based inks.” Picadeli used this opportunity to add bold, playful mes- sages to the lids, enticing consumers to engage with the brand — an important benefit as it is the market-leading healthy fast-food outlet in Europe and the US, with over 2,000 salad bars across Europe alone. During the devel- opment of the new lid solution, Graphic Packaging opti- mized the design to ensure it remained rigid in chilled and moisture-rich environments. “We’re honored to play a part in the sustainability ef- forts of brands like Picadeli,” Larsson said. “Only by devel- oping truly excellent fiber-based packaging can we help to make a difference to our planet, and it’s a challenge that everyone at Graphic Packaging is proud to rise to.” Welcoming the partnership, Henrik Åkerman, Head of Sourcing and Supply Chain at Picadeli said, “We value the health of our planet as much as we value healthy eating. We are committed to preserving as many of our planet’s precious resources as possible, while also producing high-quality, functional packaging for our consumers to enjoy. With that in mind, we are delighted to introduce this new lid to our packaging. It fulfills all our needs and helps us reduce the amount of plastic in our portfolio, in line with modern consumer demands.”
