Developed to improve the eco credentials of European bakery manufacturers, Linpac said its latest innovations in bread wraps, cakes and morning goods containers include RPET material and paper to address waste stream challenges.

The innovations form part of Linpac's LINbake range, which includes bakery bags supplied in pre-made sizes or on-the-reel, its SmartBox cake boxes, trays, paper film laminate and hinged boxes, trays and lids.

Barbara Laing, divisional communications manager for Linpac, commented that its packaging developments were prompted by a combination of requests from the sector as well as Linpac recognizing that there was a gap in the market for more sustainable bakery packaging materials.

Its LINbake Lite range of hinged boxes, trays and lids is made from crystal clear APET and is suitable for use with multiple cakes and pies.
