Clondalkin Kirchberg: Aluminum-free butter wrap

Clondalkin Kirchberg has developed an aluminum-free butter wrap, offering a more sustainable option to the dairy sector.

The Switzerland-based Clondalkin Kirchberg subsidiary of Clondalkin Group has a strong reputation in introducing alternative materials for aluminum, and now launches a PE-based “foil” for butter packaging. Flow packs for butter are traditionally wrapped in aluminum or aluminum-based laminates. So far these structures have provided the best dead-fold, which is required for application on filling lines. Clondalkin Kirchberg’s investment in research and development has resulted in a film-based alternative that also provides these characteristics—with improved sustainability on top of that.

Sander Kool, Commercial Director of Clondalkin Kirchberg, says: “The environmental impact of packaging is at the forefront of the leading brands decision making processes. Our customers are constantly seeking more environmental friendly solutions as a result of consumer demand. These requirements mean that we must look at reducing the carbon footprint of our product range, down-gauge materials, reduce waste, consider the ease of recyclability, and introduce alternative materials. This is now central to our business operation and the products that we develop.”
