With a paper tray made completely from renewable resources and originating from FSC forests, Paperly™ packaging will attract environmentally conscious consumers who prefer products with a more natural feel and recyclable packaging. Made from 85% FSC–certified paper fibres, the whole base tray can be recycled where paper recycling streams are available; plus, it lowers CO2 emissions by approximately 75% compared with traditional packaging, resulting in greater sustainability.
