German Packaging Award 2025: Kallfass-Wrap’s Green Packaging Breakthrough
The Kallfass-Wrap recently earned recognition at the German Packaging Awards 2025 for its innovation in sustainable food packaging. It brings together a tray made from renewable raw materials and an ultra-thin barrier film, sealed airtight to preserve freshness. For certain products, a protective gas option can extend shelf life even further.
This approach delivers both ecological and functional benefits. The design prioritizes material efficiency and resource conservation without compromising product integrity. Upon opening, the tray and film separate cleanly, making disposal and recycling straightforward for consumers.
How Does It Support Recyclability and Reduce Waste?
The Kallfass-Wrap’s smart separation feature is one of its most significant contributions to sustainability. By ensuring that the tray and film are easily separated, recycling streams remain clean and uncontaminated. This improves recovery rates for both materials while reducing landfill impact.
Material use is also minimized. The barrier film is ultra-thin yet effective, cutting down on plastic consumption while still providing the strength and protection needed for commercial packaging.
Where Can This Solution Be Applied?
This packaging concept offers flexibility for a range of food products. Whether used for fresh produce, bakery items, or chilled foods, the system can adapt to different tray designs and market requirements. The versatility makes it suitable for large-scale manufacturing and niche food sectors alike.
Key applications include:
- Fresh produce packaging requiring airtight seals
- Bakery products where freshness retention is critical
- Chilled and ready-to-eat meals with an extended shelf life are needed
