Packaging specialists Amcor, Metsä Group and G Mondini have collaborated on a new fibre-based tray system, tailored for protein and chilled ready meal applications. The system combines a lightweight barrier liner and top web, aiming to accelerate the move toward sustainable, fibre-based packaging. It will be debuted at European packaging trade show Interpack in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 7-13 May 2026, where it will run live on G Mondini’s Trave Streamline machine. Amcor said it worked closely with G Mondini to ensure ‘seamless machine performance’ for meat and food producers. Engineered to protect perishable foods and extend shelf life, Amcor noted that its AmFiber tray and film combination responds to ‘rising consumer confidence in more sustainable materials.’ The solution aims to deliver a distinctive packaging format that enhances shelf appeal and supports environmental commitments. The tray is designed using Muoto, a novel moulded fibre packaging solution developed by Metsä Group’s innovation company, Metsä Spring. It offers a recyclable solution based on renewable wood sourced from northern forests, complemented by Amcor’s range of advanced barriers and top-web films to address different product applications. The solution is designed to reduce plastic use while prolonging shelf life, and can include convenience features such as microwaveable, oven-suitable and easy-peel options. Ilya Syshchikov, Amcor’s vice president of Global Fiber, said: “High-performing packaging requires a fully integrated system, where every element, from tray and barrier liner to top web and machinery, works seamlessly together”. “By collaborating with Metsä Group and G Mondini, we are creating a complete packaging solution that simplifies implementation, addresses customer challenges and helps brands focus on delivering exceptional products.”

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) has expanded its offering under its Powerade brand with the introduction of a new Golden Mango-flavoured beverage. The new isotonic sports drink provides consumers with a tropical flavour profile. Like the rest of the Powerade range, it contains vitamin B6, which could reduce tiredness and fatigue. Rob Yeomans, vice president of commercial development at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners GB, said: “Powerade has huge potential, particularly with active lifestyles high on many consumers’ agendas and the sports sub-category doing so well within wider soft drinks. We hope that the new look and innovation will really excite our consumers and we look forward to seeing how retailers get behind the brand in store.” In a similar move, CCEP expanded its Relentless energy drink portfolio in April, with the addition of Fruit Punch, a new tropical-flavoured beverage. The new Golden Mango Powerade comes in 500ml bottles and is available to purchase in UK retailers now. #CCEP #Powerade #UK
