Kevin Clarke, Managing Director for KCC Packaging, presents Riji – a sugarcane tray with a moisture barrier coating suitable for wet foods, during the Pro2Pac show in London. Clarke explains that the main technical challenge was creating a barrier that was ovenable and microwavable, yet still suitable to pulp as a paper material for home composting. The tray has a number of benefits for operators because it can withstand higher temperatures – up to 250 degrees – while plastic trays can only typically be heated up to 200 degrees before they begin to go soft and melt.
