Chadwicks brings sustainable lidding solutions to Scandinavian market

-

Chadwicks, a producer of pre-cut lidding solutions, is set to showcase its innovative range of sustainable lidding at Scanpack in Sweden this month. Among the featured products is Chadwicks’ latest rPET pre-cut lidding film, which contains up to 50% post-consumer resin (PCR), designed to support both sustainability efforts and plastic packaging regulations.

The introduction of rPET pre-cut lids with 50% PCR marks a significant step forward in reducing carbon emissions by minimizing the use of virgin plastic. In line with European sustainability initiatives, Chadwicks’ rPET lidding supports brands in meeting regulatory requirements while reducing their environmental footprint by incorporating recycled materials into their packaging.

Fully approved for food contact, rPET pre-cut lids are ideal for a wide range of food applications such as butter, dips, spreads, and yogurts, as well as beverages and convenience foods, and offer the same high-performance characteristics as standard PET pre-cut lidding.

“We are committed to reducing our reliance on virgin plastics and embedding more responsible practices across our business,” said Paul Whelan, chief technical officer at Chadwicks. “The addition of rPET lidding with 50% PCR to our product portfolio for the Scandinavian market is a key milestone. It offers the same technical properties as virgin plastic, but with a reduced carbon impact and substantial use of recycled material in the supply chain which we see as the right thing to do.”

In addition to the rPET solutions, Chadwicks will unveil its latest innovation – a resealable pre-cut lid. This product eliminates the need for plastic over-caps, extending product freshness while reducing overall plastic use.

Chadwicks will also showcase its aluminum pre-cut lidding, including PP, PET, Paper PE and glass. Aluminum lids offer excellent barrier properties, protecting against light, moisture, and oxygen, which helps extend shelf life and maintain product quality. They are fully recyclable, supporting sustainability goals while also being compatible with high-speed production lines and various heat-sealing processes. Additionally, aluminum lidding can be used for hot fill applications and products requiring additional processes such as pasteurization or sterilization, making it a reliable choice for various applications.
