Yangi has announced that takeaway trays produced on its industrial demo line in Varberg, Sweden are being used to serve customers of food truck business Flavor Boss, providing direct feedback on handling, functionality and everyday usability under real operating conditions.
Yangi states that its dry-forming technology produces fibre-based packaging compatible with existing paper recycling streams and significantly reduces resource consumption and CO2 emissions compared with plastic alternatives. Apparently, the company’s material recipe and barrier chemistry delivers packaging able to handle oil and moisture for the duration of a meal, marking the first public use of its quick-serve and takeaway packaging.
The range includes lids for hot and cold beverages and plates and bowls designed to replace single-use plastic in food service settings. Yangi’s industrial demo line aims to provide brands and retailers with a practical route to market-test dry-formed fibre packaging in real operating conditions before committing to high-volume production.
Patricia Dianda, owner at Flavor Boss, commented:
“These trays are brilliant for a busy service. They come apart easily - no fussing with trays sticking together - they look great, and most importantly, they’re sturdy enough that people can walk around a festival with a full tray in one hand without it giving way.”
In February, Yangi revealed it had used its Cellera technology to produce a dry-formed fibre tray for meat, fish, deli, and ready meals – aiming to extend product shelf life, unlock a ‘premium’ surface quality, and achieve an ~80% lower CO2 impact. Made from renewable and responsibly sourced virgin fibres, the tray has been tested for use in chilled, frozen, microwaveable, and oven food applications, and its size can be adapted to suit the required format.
In related news, Amcor, Metsä Group and G. Mondini have collaborated on a fully integrated fibre‑based tray system that combines a lightweight barrier liner and top web, tailored for protein and chilled ready‑meal applications. Designed using Muoto, a recyclable moulded fibre packaging solution developed by Metsä Group’s innovation company, Metsä Spring, Amcor says the solution can help reduce plastic use while prolonging shelf life.
