Felleskjøpet packs premium pet food in Mondi’s FlexiBag Recyclable

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, has developed a recyclable high-barrier packaging solution for Norwegian pet food manufacturer Felleskjøpet, that keeps material in circulation and avoids waste.

Felleskjøpet is using Mondi’s FlexiBag Recyclable, a pre-made mono-material polyethylene (PE) bag, for the relaunch of its Appetitt range of dry cat and dog foods. It will replace the previous unrecyclable multi-layer solution, delivering packaging that is designed for recycling, according to CEFLEX D4ACE guidelines, and is recyclable in existing Norwegian plastic recycling streams.

Mondi’s FlexiBag Recyclable provides excellent product protection and preserves the premium pet food, thanks to its high barrier material. A slider enables easy opening and closing for the bigger bags to ensure long-lasting freshness, while a handle allows for convenient transportation. FlexiBag Recyclable has excellent print qualities that guarantee good visibility on-shelf and can communicate all product and recycling information clearly.

Deep Dive: Best Uses of Compostable Packaging

The primary reason to use compostable packaging is to help deliver food waste and other organic matter to composting facilities. Food waste in landfills is one of the main sources of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that has about 20-80 times the power of carbon dioxide. Diverting food waste from landfills is a key intervention to limiting climate change, and compostable packaging can help do that by being the “vehicle” that food scraps ride along with on their way to composting facilities. Composting facilities that accept compostable packaging are able to bring in more food waste than those that don’t. Compostable packaging should be reserved for packaging that is: *Used to serve prepared food or contains frozen or raw food *Likely to deliver food to a composting facility *Food-contact packaging that is not readily recyclable *Often disposed of with food waste (e.g., produce stickers) *Fiber-based and is likely to become food-soiled
