Leading packaging manufacturer Coveris has produced brand-new Notpla takeaway cardboard boxes to feature on a global stage at the Erste Bank Open ATP 500 tennis competition in Vienna, Austria, later this month.
Coveris has worked with Notpla, a producer of advanced, all-natural packaging solutions, as a print and packaging partner for their food-contact approved takeaway packaging. The takeaway boxes feature Notpla’s award-winning barrier coating made from seaweed and plant extracts, as an alternative to plastic. The coating is applied to certified sustainably sourced board offering water and grease resistance. The boxes are recyclable or if placed in alternative waste streams, the coating naturally breaks down in 4-6 weeks at end of life.
Coveris’ sustainability strategy ‘No Waste’ was launched by the packaging group’s leadership team based in Vienna. The production of Notpla-coated food takeaway boxes developed to tackle waste, for use at a sporting event in the same city, align with Coveris’ No Waste vision at the heart of where it was created.
The Vienna Open ATP 500 tennis competition, sponsored by Erste Bank, takes place from 23 - 29 October 2023. The Notpla boxes for this tournament are launching in collaboration with online food order and delivery brand Lieferando, part of Just Eat Takeaway.com. Notpla packaging will be made available for all seat-delivery and pick up food services offered during the week long event via the Lieferando App.
