PET-coated case for fish wins WorldStar Award

The EcoFishBox replaces polystyrene with PET, making it completely recyclable.

Pw 227977 Stora Enso 2

The World Packaging Organization has awarded the WPO Sustainability Award to the EcoFishBox from Stora Enso. The package was also awarded the WorldStar Award.

The EcoFishBox was created to pack fresh and processed products in shops and restaurants. Designed in-house by Stora Enso, the box is waterproof and leakproof to the liner, due to its premade PET lamination and special folding method. Fiber-based packaging has not been used for this purpose in the past.

According to Stora Enso, the fiber-based box, made of renewable material, is space-saving and is supplied as a flat corrugated board. Its material is completely recyclable, and it saves on packaging waste handling. EcoFishBox can replace previously used polystyrene boxes for the same purpose.
