Modified Atmosphere Packaging, a kind of tray sealing procedure, goes by the name of MAP. This procedure entails sucking the oxygen out of the product after it has been placed in a tray and replacing it with a mixture of food gas. By preventing oxidation processes, modified atmosphere packaging, often known as MAP, is used to extend the shelf life of foods. By substituting carbon dioxide and nitrogen for a portion of the oxygen in the container, this method operates.
The global MAP trays market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
To replace plastic, AR Packaging introduces the MAP pressed board tray. In an effort to replace plastic trays, AR Packaging has introduced the first gas-tight pressed board tray packaging for chilled meals on the market. With sustainability in mind, the firm used the knowledge of its two subsidiaries, CC Pack and Flextrus, in the production of pressed board trays and barrier materials to develop an eco-friendly solution that allows a product shelf-life of at least 18 days.
With a high percentage of renewable resources, AR Packaging’s sustainable gas-tight board tray solution is an alternative to plastic that also includes a lidding material that matches it and offers a barrier that is tailored to the needs of the packed product. Additionally, the provider provides appealing paper qualities that help with product branding.
At Anuga Foodtec, an exhibition concentrating on sustainability in food packaging, Mondi will introduce a paper-based solution for sliced food and a semi-rigid mono-material MAP (modified atmosphere packaging) solution, both of which it claims are recyclable. According to Mondi, the combination of a paper tray with a barrier layer and a plastic top web solution provides increased product protection.
The company further explains that the barrier layer and paper tray may be detached, allowing each component to be disposed of separately in the appropriate waste streams. The PerFORMing Monoloop solution, which is suited for a variety of depths and forms on current machines, is said to be recyclable according to Institute cyclos-HTP certification and offers flexibility for food makers.The second option, Mono Formable PP, is a high-barrier MAP solution that is recyclable and produced from a single material of polypropylene (PP). A printed top web and a coordinating thermoformable semi-rigid bottom web are featured in the solution.
