Waddington North America, a brand of packaging company Novolex, has introduced new recyclable containers for the food industry.

The food packaging containers, comprising at least 10% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, consist of various sizes of dessert cups, tamper-evident containers, cake containers, and bakery clamshells.

The range's Signature dessert cups are made with strong and recyclable plastic and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

These transparent cups, featuring a universal lid, are available in three sizes.

CakePak's customisable bases and lids come with the patented EZ Release system featuring easy-to-use lift tabs.

Meanwhile, the stackable BreakAway tamper-evident containers are designed to enhance food safety and are available in various popular sizes and shapes.

The new multiuse clamshells offer improved product visibility and food presentation without compromising on quality.

These clamshells, also featuring secure closure systems, are available in various custom shapes and sizes and are suitable for loaf cakes, cookies, and other products.

Novolex Technology, Rigid Plastics director Stephen Kapantais said: "We are proud to add to our growing number of products manufactured with recycled content.

"Sustainability is critical to the future of our industry, and we are committed to creating even more innovative products to reduce our impact on the environment and support the circular economy."

In April 2023, Novolex unveiled its Power Prep packaging for fresh food, comprising a laminated and insulated wrap.
