A packaging solution developed by Stora Enso in Lahti for the Finnish artisan ice cream manufacturer Vanhan Porvoon Jäätelötehdas has been awarded the Scanstar 2019 by the Scandinavian Packaging Associaction.
The corrugated packaging replaces plastic and metal containers and is aimed for bulk sales from fixed and mobile sales points.
The new package solution saves on storage and time. Previously the containers had to be returned and washed.
The new packaging is delivered as flat sheets and assembled on site and can be sent to material recycling after use.
The corrugated board also offers an insulation effect to keep the ice cream frozen. It is made of 95% renewable material with a PET film barrier approved for food contact.
Part of the bioeconomy, Stora Enso is a leading global provider of renewable solutions in packaging, biomaterials, wooden constructions and paper.
We employ some 26 000 people in more than 30 countries and our shares are listed on the Helsinki (STEAV, STERV) and Stockholm (STE A, STE R) stock exchanges.
