Corrugated packaging appears to be\u00a0an excellent material for SRP, \u00a0because it offers good presentation (printability) possibilities, low environmental impact and is also quick to put on the shelf and easy to recycle.<\/p>\n<h3>Shelf-life and food safety<\/h3>\n<p>For EkoPlaza the appearance of the packaging is of utmost importance and the sustainability and food safety must be guaranteed. Paper and cardboard have a sustainable image\u00a0and they are excellent for printing. In order to increase the shelf-life and to ensure food safety, there are a variety of coatings under development or already on the market. Many of these developments are taking place in other countries, but also several\u00a0Dutch paper manufacturers are working on developments that can be applied for this purpose. This may be taken to the next level\u00a0with one of the Dutch paper manufacturers in a follow-up project.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Contact<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.partnersforinnovation.com\/en\/partner\/siem-haffmans\/\" target=\"_blank\">Siem Haffmans<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Association of Dutch Paper and Board Manufacturers (VNP) initiated several chain projects on\u00a0sustainable packaging with paper and cardboard.
