Global paper and packaging company Mondi has partnered with Sweden-based dairy producer Skånemejerier to develop a monomaterial, polypropylene-based packaging solution for Skånemejerier’s cheese products.

As part of this partnership, Mondi produces and prints monomaterial base web and lidding films, which are then transformed into packaging for Skånemejerier’s 1kg and 2kg blocks of cheese.

This cheese product with new recyclable packaging will be sold in major Swedish supermarket ICA.

According to Mondi, the monomaterial solution delivers high resistance against both oxygen and water vapours, making it ideal for storage on supermarket shelves.

In addition, it is said to offer high puncture resistance and printability for brand promotion.

Skånemejerier packaging manager Ingemar Jönsson said: “Our collaboration with Mondi has been a thorough process: we started our first test and trials in 2019 and are delighted to be bringing this fully recyclable packaging to market before the end of 2023.
