Mondi bakes sustainability into new premium bread packaging

Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, is partnering with Welton, Bibby and Baron, a leading packaging supplier to the UK food and FMCG markets, to introduce recyclable paper-based bread bags to retail shelves.

WBB is converting Mondi’s FunctionalBarrier Paper Reduce to create brown and white paper bags for different pre-packed fresh bread products. Mondi is producing the strong base kraft paper from responsibly sourced fibres and coats it in-house to ensure the final packaging’s essential barrier properties.

FunctionalBarrier Paper Reduce is the thinnest paper possible in Mondi’s barrier paper range, offering the strength needed for higher filling weights while delivering superb food compliant protection against water vapour, grease and moisture. The final packaging keeps the bread fresh, soft and moist, while offering a recyclable alternative to the previous unrecyclable packaging.
