    Kiefel Packaging

    Kiefel Packaging has re-engineered the egg tray to facilitate the use of 100%, tray to tray recycled post-consumer PET.
     
    The tray, which according to Kiefel is “of similar or even better quality” compared to those made of virgin polystyrene or PET, is said to make no concessions on either functionality and mechanical strength.
     
    To achieve this, Kiefel has combined its new premium flatbed tooling with its latest KMD thermoforming machine to develop a “significantly streamlined” process.
     
    Kiefel will display the egg tray, as well as the Speedformer KMD 78.2 at K2019 in October in Düsseldorf, Germany. 
     
    The German thermoforming specialist will also offer support for “more drastic material changes” - a switch to paper, pulp or plant-based materials like PHA or PEF - for instance, during the show.
