Yangi launches sustainable fiber-based food tray

Yangi, renowned for its renewable packaging solutions, has introduced a new fiber-based food tray as a sustainable alternative to plastic trays in the food industry. This versatile tray meets the demand for eco-friendly packaging, providing options for ready meals, meat, and takeaways.

Made from 100% renewable FSC-certified fibers, Yangi’s food tray is recyclable within existing paper streams globally. Yangi is currently developing options for lamination, sealing, lids, embossing, and labeling to further enhance the tray’s functionality and meet diverse market needs.

With physical prototypes ready for early testing, Yangi is collaborating with brands and packaging producers to refine the tray for specific needs. Utilizing Yangi’s dry-forming technology, Cellera, the advanced production facility in Varberg, Sweden, now allows for small-scale production for market testing.

Yangi emphasizes that Cellera technology significantly reduces environmental impact compared to conventional plastic and wet molding methods, enabling cost-effective and resource-efficient production that greatly cuts carbon emissions. Yangi’s R&D team is also focused on creating designs with increased complexity, deeper forms, and longer shelf-life barriers.

Johann Kaiser, CEO of Yangi, highlights the company’s leadership in dry-forming technology. “With our fully industrialized Cellera platform and added-value service packages, we offer an all-in-one solution for packaging producers committed to fiber-based packaging. We’re partnering with forward-thinking companies to shape a sustainable future and give them a competitive market edge,” he said.
