This can also work with smart material combinations.  Such as the &#8220;eTray&#8221; from SEALPAC. This is a prefabricated cardboard tray in which the plastic or plastic composite used serves only as a sealing and functional medium. A cardboard die-cut is given a plastic inlay made of sealable polypropylene in a thermoforming process. The die-cut is then erected and delivered as a prefabricated tray. After use, &#8220;eTray&#8221; can be very easily separated into its two main components, i.e. the functional material (plastic inlay) and the carrier material (cardboard or fiber material).   This produces significantly less waste, which can be disposed of separately according to materials. According to SEALPAC, around 40 to 60 percent of plastic is saved compared to the conventional PP packaging format.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" id=\"h-companies-to-watch\">Companies to watch:  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/halopack.eu\/our-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Halopack<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sealpac.de\/de\/beitrag\/das-neue-sealpac-etray-r-fuer-map-produkte.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sealpac<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/halopack.eu\/our-products\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MILK-Seubert-Design-04-1920x1080.jpg\" alt=\"Plastic and cardboard packaging\" class=\"wp-image-17122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MILK-Seubert-Design-04-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MILK-Seubert-Design-04-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MILK-Seubert-Design-04-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MILK-Seubert-Design-04-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MILK-Seubert-Design-04-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MILK-Seubert-Design-04-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MILK-Seubert-Design-04-200x113.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image source: MILK.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-serif has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The solution has also been used in MILK. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/en\/projects\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/projekte\/\">Projects<\/a> have already used the solution.

The thin plastic layer still provides optimum product protection, but is easy to remove and can therefore be disposed of in the yellow bag (in Germany). The amount of plastic compared to comparable plastic trays with top film can thus be significantly reduced once again.  <br\/>The cardboard part of the packaging later goes into the recycling loop for paper, which works well in Germany.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1260\" height=\"1068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/milk-trends-halopack.jpg\" alt=\"Recycle plastic and cardboard packaging separately\" class=\"wp-image-631775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/milk-trends-halopack.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/milk-trends-halopack-960x814.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/milk-trends-halopack-768x651.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/milk-trends-halopack-480x407.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.milk-food.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/milk-trends-halopack-200x170.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image source: Halopack<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Less plastic thanks to hybrid &#8220;Less is more&#8221; is the principle of the Reduce trend.
