Santa Maria saves plastics with new tortilla packaging from Flextrus

摘要

Paulig,owner of the Santa Maria brand,has worked with Flextrus,a member of AR Packaging,for a few years to develop packaging that protects products while at the same time minimising environmental impact.It is not easy to develop a material to package soft tortilla,especially not Santa Maria's since their tortillas are made without preservatives.If they are not packed in thoroughly evaluated and optimised packaging,they will mould.The new packaging is made of a lidding film based on unbleached paper,which is coated with tailored barrier material to secure the shelf life of the tortillas and thereby minimise food waste.The base web is a combination of environmentally sound plastics to ensure product protection with efficient use of material.
