Fully approved for food contact, rPET pre-cut lids are ideal for a wide range of food applications such as butter, dips, spreads, and yogurts, as well as beverages and convenience foods, and offer the same high-performance characteristics as standard PET pre-cut lidding.
“We are committed to reducing our reliance on virgin plastics and embedding more responsible practices across our business,” says Paul Whelan, Chief Technical Officer at Chadwicks. “The addition of rPET lidding with 50 percent PCR to our product portfolio is a key milestone. It offers the same technical properties as virgin plastic, but with a reduced carbon impact and substantial use of recycled material in the supply chain, which we see as the right thing to do.”
The resealable revolution
At the Packaging Innovations event, Chadwicks will also unveil its latest innovation – a resealable pre-cut lid. This new product eliminates the need for plastic over-caps, extending product freshness while reducing overall plastic use.
“Our resealable lids are easy to open – and easy to reseal – time and time again, keeping food fresher for longer,” says Paul Whelan. “Ideal for dairy and other food applications, our new resealable lidding film is the perfect solution to add a new level of consumer convenience for any brand.”
Fully recyclable aluminium pre-cut lids
Chadwicks will also showcase its versatile fully recyclable aluminium pre-cut lidding, known for its superior sealing across various container types, including PP, PET, Paper PE and glass.
Sustainable lidding solutions
“At Chadwicks, we are on a constant journey to improve our sustainability credentials, which will also help our customers reduce their carbon footprint. We have already achieved zero to landfill in our factories and our lidding solutions protect food, extend shelf-life and maintain product quality, contributing to a reduction in food waste.”
