Cellulose mooted as eco-friendly replacement in MAP packaging

Zoom in font  Zoom out font Published: 2013-02-26  Authour: Joe Whitworth  Views: 37
Core Tip: An EU project is aiming to produce cellulose-based materials to be used in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), to replace traditional oil-based substances.
ADCELLPACK, which runs until the end of October 2014, will develop a thermoplastic wood-fibre-based packaging material for trays used primarily in packages of sliced cheese.

Common MAP packaging structures are based on non-renewable multilayer materials which are difficult to recycle, said the project group.

The aim is to produce a fully sustainable solution that will maintain the freshness of the product and assure its food contact safety but a key challenge to address relates to ensuring barrier properties.
