- In February 2025, StePacPPC collaborated with Windham Packaging to develop innovative modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) solutions tailored for fresh produce in the foodservice sector. The resealable packaging incorporates controlled water vapor transmission and minimizes moisture to extend shelf life while preserving quality. Designed for form-fill and seal operations, the films also support sustainability through reduced plastic usage and availability with chemically recycled content. This partnership marks a significant step toward reducing food waste and promoting eco-friendly practices in fresh produce packaging
- In January 2025, Cirkla introduced the world’s first molded fiber MAP trays, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic trays. These trays are made from renewable plant fibers and reduce plastic content by nearly 85%, addressing growing environmental concerns in packaging. This innovation reflects Cirkla’s commitment to advancing circular economy solutions in the food packaging industry
- In March 2024, Moy Park partnered with Klöckner Pentaplast to launch the kp Elite tray, a new poultry packaging solution made entirely of recycled PET (rPET). Designed for MAP, the tray significantly extends shelf life and reduces food waste while offering a more sustainable packaging format. This collaboration underlines the poultry sector’s efforts to align with environmental and waste-reduction goals
- In June 2023, ProAmpac unveiled its fiber-based MAP innovation, the RAP Sandwich Wedge, specifically designed for sandwiches and wraps. This solution caters to the North American foodservice industry’s push for freshness, extended shelf life, and sustainability in on-the-go meals. The product reinforces ProAmpac’s position as a pioneer in eco-conscious, high-performance flexible packaging
- In January 2023, Solidus Solutions invested USD 11.5 million in its FUTURLINE initiative, which includes a range of retail-ready packaging such as MAP, skin packaging, and punnets. Targeting markets in France, Spain, the U.K., Germany, Benelux, and Poland, the packaging emphasizes sustainability and consumer convenience. This initiative demonstrates Solidus Solutions' strategic expansion into eco-efficient packaging across Europe
