Graphic Packaging International has partnered with Elaborados Naturales, a producer of refrigerated potato products, to introduce its PaperSeal Shape paperboard tray to the Spanish retail market, according to a report by Food Ingredients First. 

The paperboard manufacturer says the product is the first commercialized round-shaped design of the PaperSeal Shape tray for use in ovens, microwaves and medium-sized air fryers and offers improved consumer convenience. 

The tray replaces a traditional plastic tray and contains less than 10% plastic, making it compliant with the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. It can be recycled in household recycling streams without the need to remove the barrier liner. 

According to Pierrick Van Hoorde, head of sales, tray & cup solutions at Graphic Packaging, “We want to help brands and retailers meet their sustainability goals, adapt to upcoming legislation and delight their consumers with packaging that is more circular, more functional and more convenient. We truly believe that PaperSeal Shape and our whole paperboard tray portfolio are game changers in this regard.”
