Compleat Food Group has launched a special-edition pack of sausage rolls to celebrate the coronation on King Charles III. A fitting tribute to the eco-conscious royal, the film packaging is fully recyclable.

U.K. food company Compleat Food Group and U.K. supermarket chain Sainsburys have partnered to mark the coronation of King Charles III, with a special-edition pack of sausage rolls, featuring fully recyclable packaging from flex-pack supplier Parkside.

A fitting tribute given the King’s famed history of environmentalism, the new solution uses Parkside’s ParkScribe laser scribing technology, resulting in the pack being fully recyclable under OPRL (On-Pack Recycling Label) guidelines. ParkScribe cuts a self-adhesive peel-and-reseal opening into the polyethylene lidding film, which is then weld-sealed to a matching PE tray. According to Parkside, this facilitates easy recycling and lowers the post-use environmental impact of each pack.
