Due to the combination with plastics, the pizza can be packed under MAP conditions and packaging machines can be used without any loss of productivity. The package also opens easily.
Transfering the bio concept to the package
“We wanted to transfer the bio concept to the package”, emphasizes Barthe-lemy Lelore, LÉA Nature Product Manager. “The paper composite expresses naturalness and sustainability. We wanted to be the first company to offer such a solution to its customers. Wipak has managed to transfer our product philosophy to the package”.
