Yangi, a leader in renewable packaging innovations, is thrilled to announce its latest advancement: a fiber-based food tray aimed at replacing traditional plastic trays in the food sector. This versatile tray represents a significant milestone in food and drink packaging, providing a sustainable choice for ready meals, meat trays, and takeaway options that caters to the increasing demand for eco-friendly products.
“Today marks a key moment as we unveil our fiber-based food tray, building on the positive response of our fiber-based container lid for dry and ambient food launched in June this year, both products advancing our commitment to deliver sustainable solutions for the food industry,” states Hanna Rüdel, Chief Commercial Officer at Yangi. “As Yangi continues to innovate, we offer packaging producers and brands the opportunity to work closely with our team on product development and validation. This collaborative approach enables early adopters to stay ahead of market trends by incorporating fiber-based packaging as part of their offers,” she adds.
Constructed from 100% renewable FSC fibers, Yangi’s fiber-based food tray is fully recyclable in existing paper streams globally. Furthermore, Yangi is actively exploring various options for lamination, sealing, lids, embossing, debossing, and labeling—carefully considering how these elements integrate to enhance their food tray solutions, ultimately meeting market needs for sustainable food and drink packaging.
With physical prototypes ready for preliminary testing, Yangi invites brands and packaging producers interested in their fiber-based food tray to collaborate in refining and validating it according to specific product requirements. This partnership will expedite the journey toward full product validation and market launch. By leveraging Yangi’s innovative dry forming technology, Cellera—operational in their state-of-the-art production facility in Varberg, Sweden—small-scale production for market testing is now achievable.
Yangi proudly emphasizes that Cellera considerably minimizes environmental impact compared to conventional plastic packaging and wet molding techniques. This allows the company to deliver high-performance products that are both cost-effective and resource-efficient while significantly reducing carbon emissions. Innovation propels Yangi forward, and the R&D team continuously seeks to advance solutions for more complex designs, deeper-formed products, and enhanced barriers for items requiring longer shelf life.
Johann Kaiser, CEO at Yangi, emphasizes the company’s position as a market leader in dry forming technology: “With our fully industrialized machine platform Cellera and customized packages of value-added services, we provide an all-in-one solution for packaging producers ready to embrace fiber-based packaging. We’re actively partnering with forward-thinking leaders who want to shape the future of sustainable packaging, offering them a competitive edge in their market.”
