Klöckner Pentaplast (kp), a global leader in rigid and flexible packaging and specialty film solutions, has launched kp Evolve^® Fish Boards, its latest innovation designed specifically for vacuum skin packaging (VSP) for processed fish.

The new boards can contain up to 100% recycled content, helping brands comply with evolving regulatory requirements. Their lightweight, mono-material construction helps lower carbon impact and reduce EPR fees to the minimum in most European countries, while the board’s open-flap design maximises pallet efficiency to improve logistics performance. 

Paul Rawlings, Launch Manager at kp Food Packaging, commented: “kp Evolve^® Fish Boards are engineered for smooth runs on high-speed automated packing lines thanks to the board’s central section, which enhances overall strength and processing efficiency. Available in a wide range of sizes, the boards meet UK and EU design-for-recycling requirements. And when brands choose to include kp Tray2Tray^® recycled PET, the solution supports a closed-loop system for food trays.”

“For brands looking to advance their sustainability commitments and reduce environmental impact without compromising on performance, kp Evolve^® Fish Boards offer an effective and commercially ready solution.”

Thanks to the boards’ innovative design features, consumers can lift the fish cleanly out of the pack without any mess or cleaning-up involved. Once used, the pack can be rinsed and recycled via established PET recycling systems.
