PACKAGING INDUSTRY TAKES
RESPONSIBILITY
When it comes to careful use of
resources, the packaging industry
has already made considerable
progress in the past decade. As
Marcel Veenstra, Marketing &
Communications Manager at
Sealpac International, explains:
“Once again referring to the popular
tray size of 190 x 144 mm for

modified atmosphere packaging of
fresh meat, such trays used to weigh
around 18 grams in the year 2004.
In close cooperation with leading
tray manufacturers, we have already
been able to reduce the weight to
just below 10 grams in 2018. With
the launch of eTray®, we are once
again achieving a signifi cant plastic
reduction that sets new standards.”
