The consumption of takeaway food is increasing worldwide. Single-use containers used for takeaway food represent an important source of waste and environmental impacts due to their low recyclability.

Professional aluminium foil containers are usually specifically designed for the food industry and the Ho.Re.Ca channel. In these fields, the department of Research and Development of a company is very significant because it has to be able to provide innovative and customized packaging solutions in terms of food cooking, storage and display.

Takeaway containers are more popular than ever. Almost all deli shops and restaurants now offer a takeout or delivery option for meals, snacks and drinks. That increase has coincided with the development of green packaging. Sustainable packaging uses environmentally manufacturing methods and recyclable materials for the purpose of different packaging solutions, so that the package […]

Aluminium foil containers are among the most popular food products in the world. In 2018 over 1 million tons of alu food containers were sold globally; in addition, according to the FMI (Future Market Insights) researchers, the 2019 will close with a further increase of 4%.

Why are aluminium foil containers so used? Aluminium plays an important role in food preservation and delivery systems thanks to its combination of properties: it’s odourless, impermeable and flexible; it keeps out ultraviolet rays and naturally generates a oxide coating that protect food from corrosion.

A new study released by the University of Manchester estimates that in European Union the global takeaway food market is growing fast, with a projected value of over £80 billion in 2020. The researchers say that people use 2025 million takeaway containers each year but not of them are recyclable: we could have negative impacts […]

Nowadays aluminium containers suppliers have to offer a great variety of sustainable and innovative packaging. Sustainable food packaging is a type of packaging that, over time, helps to impact the ecological footprint, reducing the waste.

Heat sealable food containers provide a leak proof hermetic pack. This characteristic makes them an optimal packaging for a wide variety of products including fish, seafood, meat, chicken and fruit; but above all they are ideally suited for ready meal packaging.

Food waste has reached unimaginable proportions: FAO affirms that food wastage amounts to between 280 – 300 kilos per capita each year. National Observatory on food waste has revealed that products we waste the most are: dairy products (32 per cent), meat (30 per cent), eggs (28 per cent).

Aluminium is the ideal material for food containers thanks to its properties: it provides a 100% barrier  against water, gas and external agents; it has a high resistance to corrosion; it transfers heat homogeneously and very quickly.
