Alto Food Packaging is renowned for delivering exceptional innovation in rigid packaging solutions for fresh food. A key part of the Company\u2019s innovation is based on principles of sustainability. As a result, Alto is proud to be in collaboration with Cardia Bioplastics to produce high performance packaging solutions, manufactured with Cardia\u2019s novel thermoplastic starch resins.<\/b><\/p>\n
“Packaging is an integral part of modern day living and we use it in nearly every thinkable industry,\u201d said Dr Frank Glatz, Managing Director of Cardia. “For this reason, the development of packaging solutions with improved environmental properties, through the use of renewable components, is important for the packaging industry to consider.<\/p>\n
“By incorporating our thermoplastic starch resins into their packaging systems, Alto Packaging is taking significant steps to reduce the environmental footprint of their packaging products,\u201d said Dr Glatz.<\/p>\n
Initially focusing on fresh food packaging, the new packaging will be manufactured with Cardia\u2019s bioplastic resins, which have a higher renewable content and lower carbon footprint than conventional resins. Furthermore, they are compatible with current plastic recycle processes and will be food safe compliant.<\/p>\n
Cardia\u2019s Biohybrid\u2122 resins combine renewable thermoplastics with oil-based polymer material to reduce dependence on finite oil resources and to reduce carbon footprint. The renewable material is derived from corn crop grown for industrial use.<\/p>\n
Ron Starnes, Technical Manager of Alto Food Packaging, said: “Alto Packaging is proud to be working in partnership with Cardia Bioplastics to produce high performance packaging solutions with improved environmental attributes.\u201d
“We are serious about creating a more sustainable future through the use of more renewable materials, and we are looking forward to working with Cardia Bioplastics to bring more environmentally-friendly packaging solutions to the market, in Australia and in New Zealand through Alto and associated group companies,\u201d Mr Starnes said. <\/p>\n
