Mondi introduces PP-based mono-material WalletPack for food packaging

Mondi collaborated with Scan Sverige to create WalletPack, a polypropylene (PP) based mono-material packaging designed for recycling. This packaging is used for Scan Sverige’s Pärsons brand’s range of sliced ham, salami, and plant-based products, starting from March 2024.

Mondi’s PP-based mono-material packaging WalletPack is used for Scan Sverige’s Pärsons brand’s products.

Multi-layer laminates, such as PET/PE and PA/PE, are commonly used in diverse flexible plastic packaging, limiting the potential for material recycling. To enhance and facilitate more efficient material recycling, there is a need to shift towards using mono-material in plastic packaging.

WalletPack is designed for recyclability. It can be effectively sorted by Site Zero, Europe’s largest and most advanced plastic recycling facility located in Sweden and is thereby contributing to a circular economy.

“Our objective was to follow a forward-thinking approach to packaging sustainability as we are investing in getting 100% recyclable packaging by the end of 2025 and working hard to change to recyclable mono-materials,” explained Eva Tiedman, Category Manager Scan Sverige.

Besides that, the mono-material packaging features a top and bottom film, with an easy peel mechanism ensuring consumer convenience. Created with a protective high oxygen barrier for a longer shelf-life in combination with inside print, it also offers good printability to brand and product communication.
