UK’s food packaging firm Sharpak is providing low carbon packaging for Rankin's mushroom and sauce range.

The firm has teamed up with food brand Rankin in this regard, and is manufacturing a range of bespoke thermoformed trays for Garlic and Herb and Tomato and Herb mushroom sauce range.

The trays incorporate an internal cavity accommodating a peel back container for the sauces and were designed in conjunction with the UK’s supermarket and Monaghan.

They are constructed from Sharpak’s popular c-LOW material, which has a carbon footprint 23% lower than any polymer-based packaging and contains post – consumer waste and natural minerals.

Monaghan Mushrooms Group Purchasing/Distribution Director Philomena Cassidy said the tray enables eating at home and they are offering low-carbon, British made packaging to the customers to help them contribute to the green agenda.

Sharpak Yate managing director Andrew Copson said food needs to be presented attractively as well as practically.
