We're proud to announce that kp has been selected as a finalist at the UK Packaging News Awards! Our kp 100% Tray2Tray® market-first pilot, in collaboration with Tesco and Hilton Foods UK, has been shortlisted in the Rigid Plastic Pack of the Year category. Earlier this year, we launched this exciting UK venture to pilot the first-ever 100% recycled PET (rPET) food trays, created from recovered tray material through our kp Tray2Tray® initiative. The kp 100% Tray2Tray® offers a comprehensive solution to sustainability challenges while delivering exceptional performance benefits. The trays are suitable for MAP applications, particularly in fresh protein packaging, making them ideal for complex supply chains and helping to reduce food waste by extending shelf life. Additional benefits include compatibility with high-speed packing machines and reduced total cost of ownership compared to alternative solutions. Keep your eyes peeled for the winners' announcement in October. 🤞 #UKPackagingAwards #FoodPackaging #SustainablePackaging

"Recyclable" is no longer enough. With the EU’s PPWR set to redefine the packaging landscape, the real test of circular readiness lies in film design, not merely in material claims. In a new feature for Sustainable Packaging News, Ben Elkington, Innovation Director at kp Food Packaging, explains how designing for system compatibility, third-party certification, and circular value creation is the only way forward. At kp, we’re not just making recyclable films, we’re engineering them for what’s next: 🔹Certified recyclability in PE, PP, and PET streams 🔹Mono-material designs with high barrier performance 🔹End-to-end circularity through initiatives such as kp Tray2Tray® 🔹System-level thinking that aligns with infrastructure and regulation Designing for recycling is no longer a "nice-to-have" - it’s becoming a licence to operate.
