Smurfit Kappa launches carton for primary packaging for food

From: Packaging News

Smurfit Kappa has launched its MB12 carton is now available for primary food packaging, which helps eliminate mineral oil migration.

Mineral oil, which can be potentially harmful, mainly originates from printing inks which can remain in recycled packaging in low quantities due to the recycling process.

MB12’s efficiency has been verified by Eurofins, the food and pharmaceutical product testing firm.

An independent year-long study by the Technical University of Dresden found that Smurfit Kappa’s MB12 was the most effective product on the market for protecting packaged food against potential contamination.2

Lars Henriksson, VP product development, Smurfit Kappa Paper Division, said: “Our customers have a diverse set of needs and we are committed to helping them find the right primary packaging for their requirements.

“Product safety remains at the forefront of what we do as an industry. Developing our unique MB12  primary packaging further demonstrates how we are innovating to provide a broad range of sustainable solutions for our customers that not only meet all food safety standards but that go one step further.”

MB12 is made using natural ingredients in recycled board. It is 100 percent recyclable and can be delivered as FSC chain-of-custody certified. Available in a range of weights, MB12 also protects against organoleptic effects of taste and odour into the food.
