Mayr-Melnhof Karton says its new cartonboard grade Foodboard represents a “quantum leap” in the protection of cartonboard packed foodstuffs.
According to the Austria-based company, the core component of Foodboard is an “innovative, ecologically sensitive and consumer friendly barrier concept” that ensures packaged food is shielded against unintended substances from the packaging environment.
“Long-term series tests have been successfully completed and a special capital investment in a mid-double-digit million euro amount has been approved,” the company says.
From the end of 2014, Foodboard will be supplied from the Austrian parent plant of MM Karton in Frohnleiten.
“This important step will strengthen customer relations as well as the competitive technological position of the MM Cartonboard Division,” the company states.
