With the Walki-Lid, dairy products can now be packaged completely sustainably - without aluminium and based on renewable and recyclable raw materials.

"And when it comes to the carbon footprint, Walki-Lid beats the conventional material aluminium many times over. This makes it particularly suitable for companies that are seriously committed to sustainability and reducing their emissions throughout the supply chain."
The lids made from the material supplied by Walki Material Walki-Lid produces the Finnish paper, converting and packaging company Pyroll.
