Making food packaging more sustainable
In the competitive food industry, consumers deserve the best quality. Even small imperfections can result in unsold food products. Sheets of plastic have long been used to separate food items. They enhance customer satisfaction by making it easy to take sliced food products, such as cold cuts and sliced analogue cheese, from the packaging. Consumers enjoy a single slice of meat or analogue cheese, one that doesn’t tear or stick to other slices.
The downside of these interleavers is that they are single-use plastics and create excess waste. With many companies making sustainability a key objective for their business and products, reducing the use of these single-use plastics is one way to greatly improve the sustainability of food packaging. CAPOL’s Liquid Interleaving System is a viable alternative while maintaining the high quality that consumers demand.
The liquid interleaver: a CAPOL solution
Working closely with manufacturing experts from the food and packaging industry, CAPOL has developed an interleaving liquid that can be automatically sprayed onto slices of ham and analogue products for easy separation. Tasteless, odorless, and based on natural ingredients, such as vegetable oils, it can be used for a wide range of food products and is a sustainable alternative to plastic interleavers.
We are convinced that three ways lead to a more sustainable use of plastics: increased circularity, using renewable material, and smarter use. The CAPOL Liquid Interleaving System enables our customers to reduce the amount of plastics in packaging while providing a more aesthetically pleasing and natural presentation of food products.
