Eco-Tite R is a Multi-layer mono PE packaging with high barrier against oxygen and water vapour. This even works in an environment with high humidity, such as in cool boxes and refrigerators. The solution is intended to offer European meat and cheese producers an alternative to conventional PVdC packaging. The latter cannot be recycled in mechanical or chemical recycling systems.

It can now be recycled wherever the appropriate infrastructure is in place, including Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria and Spain. The innovation also supports the company's commitment to all its packaging recyclable by 2025 design.
