Duni Group, a supplier of dining and food packaging solutions, has launched its new takeaway series, Vista, integrating improved recyclability with increased functionality.
The series, set to be available from 1 July 2025, features a recyclable grey plastic base designed to be detected and recycled by modern waste sorting systems.
It represents a significant shift away from traditional black plastic, which is typically not recognised by optical sorting systems, leading to its disposal as residual waste.
The series offers enhanced usability and is designed to ease handling. It comes in five sizes with options for two or three compartments, suitable for a variety of hot and cold meals.
The packaging, made from recyclable polypropylene, utilises less material to decrease plastic use without compromising on performance.
Vista's features include a leakproof design, microwave safety, antifog lids for clear visibility, adjustable vents for texture preservation, and hygiene and tamper-evident seals for food safety.
A tear-off hinge allows the container to double as a serving bowl, and a smart stacking system eases storage and transport.
Duni Group Food Packaging Solutions product manager Caroline Tobiasson said: “With Vista, we are taking an important step toward offering our customers more sustainable and functional packaging solutions that are designed for real-world needs.
"The grey plastic allows for recycling in a way that black plastic does not, while the enhanced features contribute to a better user experience from kitchen to consumer. This innovation supports higher recycling rates and reduced plastic use and is a key milestone in Duni Group’s journey toward a circular future.”
The grey plastic used in Vista does not contain carbon black, a pigment known to hinder recyclability and raise health concerns.
Vista has been crafted to address the growing demand for sustainable and functional packaging from regulatory bodies, consumers, and the market as a whole.
Earlier this week, Duni acquired an 80% stake in LinePack, a Finnish company specialising in automated packaging solutions for the food industry.
