Recart takes an important step

Bonduelle, a large European marketer of canned, frozen, and fresh vegetables, plans a March 2003 launch of a variety of vegetables in the Recart™ retortable carton from Tetra Pak (Vernon Hills, IL).

Previously, the only commercial application of the innovative Tetra Pak technology was for dog food (see packworld.com/go/c060).

Joachim Spang, managing director of Bonduelle GmbH in Homburg/Saar, Germany, believes that his firm’s embrace of the Recart technology gives them a three-year lead over the competition. The advantages gained over traditional glass jars and steel cans, he has told the European packaging press, include a fresher look, greater shelf impact, better use of cube, and ease of opening thanks to a laser-scored easy-open tear strip. He also believes the package to be easily recycled. Cost comparisons, however, were not available at press time.
