Part of our off-the-shelf range, moulded pulp trays for fresh produce are made from recycled kraft paper and hold a number of eco-friendly benefits compared to plastic trays.

More now than ever, shoppers are aware of what non-recyclable single-use plastic does to our world. Many UK supermarkets have deadlines as soon as 2022 to drastically reduce or eliminate unnecessary plastic packaging from shelves. Countries in the European Union are striving to make all packaging recyclable by 2030 and both will have a huge effect on pack houses and distributors.

Moulded pulp produce trays are a great eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic trays as they can be recyclable, compostable and biodegradable.

At Cullen, our wet pressing technology ensures a strong, quality moulded pulp tray that absorbs produce moisture, extends the shelf life and reduces food waste. The raw material is the cut-offs from our corrugated packaging factory. Cut-offs are bailed, stored and called off when required to manufacture moulded pulp trays.

Cullen are certified by the BRCGS for “Packaging Materials” up to the ‘high risk’ category for use as food-grade packaging. In addition, the EU certification EN 13432 confirms each product is certified with industrial compostability.

All trays below are available in either black or kraft paper.
