<\/center>Nestl\u00e9 UK today announced that Plantic Technologies Ltd\u2019s<\/a> innovative Plantic\u00ae packaging trays are being used in its Dairy Box\u00ae boxed chocolate range. This is the first publicly announced use of Plantic\u00ae bioplastic in Europe.<\/b><\/p>\n
Plantic\u00ae, an innovative bioplastic developed and commercialised in Australia, has been in use in the Australian market for two years with a range of local manufacturers. The benefits of the Plantic\u00ae trays are their lower environmental impact compared to petrochemical plastics whilst still providing the protection, presentation and economics that plastic packaging is expected to deliver.<\/p>\n
Plantic\u00ae is made from starch, a renewable resource, and is compostable and biodegradable. The most unusual feature of Plantic\u00ae is its reaction to water. It immediately begins to disintegrate upon contact with water.<\/p>\n
“We are very excited to be working with Nestl\u00e9 on this packaging initiative\u201d, commented Frank Glatz, the General Manager of Plantic Technologies in Europe. “We believe their decision to utilise Plantic for Dairy Box validates the benefits of the technology to the environment and shows that Plantic is a high-quality packaging option\u201d.<\/p>\n
“We also know that people of all ages like to see the Plantic tray disappear when it gets wet, and importantly at a deeper level, understand the environmental benefits offered by a starch tray that biodegrades readily\u201d, he continued.<\/p>\n
Plantic Technologies is an Australian company with subsidiaries and staff in the UK as well as Germany and the Netherlands. Other uses of Plantic are expected to be announced shortly in the food sector and in other industries.<\/p>\n
