Noel Alimentaria will use Mondi’s PerFORMing paper-based tray for Verday, its rebranded range of sliced plant-based food and vegetarian burgers.
Mondi sales and business development director Falk Paulsen said: “By working very closely with Noel Alimentaria from the outset, we were able to ensure we delivered the best possible option for the entire range of meat and meat free products, using a tray made from renewable and responsibly sourced material that still provides maximum protection for the goods.”
Mondi’s PerFORMing tray is designed to be moulded and modified to a range of different-sized food products.

“We were able to run the new paper-based trays on our existing machinery and will now be using the same solution for our further ranges of ham and other meat products.”
Mondi recently closed its acquisition of the Duino papermill in Italy for a total consideration of €40m ($43.3m).
