The patented coating is a unique recyclable and compostable alternative to the traditional wax or plastic-based applications widely used in cardboard food packaging, which pose some challenges in terms of recyclability. The tray is made in Québec, Canada.\n\"A pioneer in recovery and eco-friendly packaging, Cascades is honoured to receive this award for a product that gives concrete life to the circular economy. Favouring the recyclability of the materials means we can do more with less, which benefits both our customers and the environment,\" said Luc Langevin, President and Chief Operating Officer of Cascades Specialty Products Group.\nLaunched in December 2019, this innovative product has already received three recognitions: in addition to this DUX Grand Prix award, it has earned the Prix Innovation en Alimentation 2019 from the Conseil de la transformation alimentaire du Québec (CTAQ), and the 2019 Gaïa Award in the fruits and vegetables category.\nPlease find more product details at: food-packaging.cascades.com \nFounded in 1964, Cascades produces, converts and markets packaging and tissue products that are composed mainly of recycled fibres.
