FFP Packaging Solutions, a leading flexible packaging converter supplying innovative printed and plain films and laminates, offers PP-Steam to make microwave cooking simple, consistent and convenient.

After the success of its Estersteam flexible microwavable packaging, FFP has moved one step further with the development of the recyclable solution PP-Steam. Recyclable by returning to store through the PP waste collection stream, PP-Steam supports the company's continued sustainability mission.

The expert technicians at FFP have applied the tried and tested valve technology from Estersteam to the design of PP-Steam, so consumers don’t need to pierce or tear the packaging, but can place it straight in the microwave.

FFP Packaging Solutions offers PP-Steam, a microwavable packaging with recyclability.

PP-Steam’s primary feature is its recyclability. Yet, the attached valve and vent provide more controlled and consistent cooking results for consumers; as the heat increases, the valve peels back to release pressure, whilst the vent helps prevent implosion.

For FFP's customers, the valve is pre-applied by FFP during the production process, allowing the film to be run as a registered film on existing packaging lines at normal speed with no changes to existing packaging lines required.

“FFP is proud of its reputation for innovation and bringing products to market which meet consumer needs," Jack Watson, Technical Director at FFP, commented. "Our expertise in high-temperature packaging and knowledge of the recycling chain has allowed us to focus our NPD on developing sustainable solutions, which can be conveniently recycled in current waste streams. PP-Steam is the next step in that important journey.”
