They are an alternative to the usual plastic and aluminium trays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201eGrease resistance is normally achieved with a plastic barrier, but this makes it difficult to recycle the tray as the plastic is difficult to separate from the fibre content. That's why we wanted to develop innovative tray materials that can be fully recycled in the paper streams,\u201c explains Matthias Zimmermann, Business Line Manager for Barrier Board at <a href=\"https:\/\/walki.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">Walki<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Packaging for ready meals and frozen food<\/h2>\n<p>Walki has three solutions in its portfolio: The <strong>Pack Tray PET<\/strong> from Walki is a tray material with a very thin PET layer, which allows the material to be categorised as a mono-material, making it suitable for recycling in paper streams. The <strong>PET-free Pack Tray UR<\/strong> has the best release properties. Both materials are approved for conventional ovens up to 220 \u00b0C and for a maximum baking time of 60 minutes. For applications that do not require heating, the <strong>Pack Food Service Trays<\/strong> suitable. They have a high fibre content, provide a good grease barrier and can also be recycled in the paper stream.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-3929193612\"><div id=\"packa-341474936\"><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>Walki expects that the <strong>Demand for ready meals and frozen food<\/strong> will continue to rise. \u201eWe have to realise that this trend does not mean that more plastic will be used.
