The solution is designed to combine efficiency, shelf life and recyclability in one product.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Riverford and Parkside are taking a further step towards sustainable supply chains with a new paper-based packaging solution. Designed for the vertical form-fill-seal process, the bags are made from notch-side recyclable paper and contain a water-based coating that protects the vegetables from moisture and grease during transport and storage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new packaging replaces previously used 100g\/m\u00b2 paper sacks with a lighter 90g\/m\u00b2 version that can be processed by machine. According to Riverford, this is part of the long-term strategy to continuously reduce resource consumption and material usage. The changeover has also significantly increased the packaging speed - from 25 to around 35 packs per minute. This not only improves efficiency, but also reduces energy consumption during packaging, according to the company.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-756040388\"><div id=\"packa-79235761\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key feature of the solution is the high-quality flexographic printing design, which imitates the look of kraft paper.

The new solution replaces costly pre-assembled bags with a more efficient, machine-compatible paper solution that is fully recyclable - without compromising on durability and brand appearance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Source:<\/em> Parkside<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parkside has developed a new, fully recyclable paper packaging for fresh root vegetables together with the organic grocer Riverford.","protected":false},"author":300,"featured_media":104140,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","rank_math_description":"Riverford und Parkside setzen auf recyclingf\u00e4hige Papierverpackung f\u00fcr Wurzelgem\u00fcse \u2013 effizienter, ressourcenschonender und maschineng\u00e4ngig.","rank_math_focus_keyword":"Papierverpackung","rank_math_title":"","csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[38,31,32,1487,59448],"class_list":{"0":"post-104133","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-packmittel-und-packstoffe","8":"tag-lebensmittel","9":"tag-nachhaltigkeit-und-green-packaging","10":"tag-packmittel-und-packstoffe","11":"tag-papier-pappe-karton","12":"tag-verpackung","13":"cs-entry","14":"cs-video-wrap"},"acf":[],"vimeo_video":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/300"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
