Parkside adds new products to Recoflex range

Parkside has launched a next-generation recyclable metallized barrier paper further boosting its award-winning portfolio of sustainable flexible packaging materials. 

The metallized paper is part of the Recoflex range of recyclable paper-based materials, which launched earlier in the year. It offers high-quality heat sealability, printability, and barrier performance, and can be converted on form, fill, and seal (FFS) and flow wrap packing lines. 

It adds to the already extensive Recoflex portfolio, which includes Parkside’s revolutionary freezerproof paper material (first commercialized last year), two configurations of Recoflex Translucent, a translucent barrier paper plus a flow-wrap material for ambient food and non-food applications, and a high barrier performance paper. 

‘The most exciting thing about Recoflex has always been its potential for further growth and innovation,’ explained Steve Hallford, new product development technologist at Parkside. ‘We’re delighted to be able to add to the options our customers can explore with the launch of our recyclable metallized paper. 

‘We have taken the time to listen carefully to what our customers need from metallized material and have developed a solution that offers the functionality, performance, and operational efficiency that today’s market demands, while also meeting consumer demands for more recyclable packaging. As a result, the new metallized paper is ideal for many food and non-food applications, from coffee and snacks to healthcare products.’ 

The new material is compatible with current UK recycling infrastructure, meaning consumers can simply drop it into their domestic paper recycling bins after use. 

‘Our drive to keep improving access to recyclable flexible packaging means we look forward to growing the Recoflex range even further in future,’ added Hallford.
