Curwood makes an impact on cheese packaging source reduction
By Curwood
Through the integration of Curwood's patented 7201 series of chunk and sliced cheese horizontal flow wrap film, a reduction of 25 million cubic inches of packaging materials has been recorded by Curwood to date. This reduction was achieved through two ways: taking Curwood’s previous chunk and sliced platform to a new advanced standard and transitioning customers from existing competitive film platforms. Through the use of Curwood’s proprietary coextrusion technology and material engineering, Curwood has achieved increased the abuse resistance, barrier properties and the value proposition of chunk and slice cheese packaging. The result is less material used, increasing the product to package ratio.
