Recyclable cheese pack provides functional benefits too

FrieslandCampina partners with resin and film suppliers to develop a recyclable bottom sheet for its cheese packaging that can be recycled.

Dutch company FrieslandCampina, one of the world’s five largest dairies, Südpack, a producer of film packaging for food, and PET resin and sheet producer OCTAL have joined together to create a unique packaging solution for cheese.  


Two objectives brought these companies together. FrieslandCampina wanted to replace the existing bottom sheet for its cheese packaging with material that is recyclable but also stronger than the laminated amorphous PET (APET)/polyethylene (PE) structure in use. Südpack was driven by production requirements for a material that met or exceeded the demanding specifications of its form/fill/seal technology.
