Greiner Packaging’s K3^® cardboard-plastic packaging solution is one of the world’s most sustainable packaging choices. Dairy customers were the first to capitalize on its environmental benefits and added-value marketing features, but K3^® has now also been widely adopted by producers in the food-on-the-go, and in-cup drinks markets.

K3^® combines a lightweight plastic cup with a removable cardboard outer wrap. Plastic remains the most effective packaging medium for food products as it protects, extends shelf-life and reduces food waste. The K3^® cup saves up to 50 % plastic when compared to a direct printed cup of the same size, and as well as being fully recyclable, the plastic used to make K3^® cups can also be made from recycled materials such as r-PET and r-PS.
 

A patented tear-tab enables easy and intuitive separation of the two parts by consumers, so that they can go to the correct recycling streams. To deal with the occasions when that does not happen, Greiner Packaging has now also successfully trialled K3^® r100 – a solution in which the cardboard wrap separates itself from the plastic cup during the waste collection process, and therefore before the packaging arrives at the NIR (near infrared) detection in the sorting unit.

IML lightweight cups deliver a 20 % weight reduction compared to standard cups. They offer a smaller carbon footprint thanks to reduction in materials, are made out of Polypropylene (PP) for filling with warm or cold products, and feature IML (in-mold label) decoration for optimal branding and premium look.

See how Greiner Packaging is working with the latest technologies to improve recycling through the use of digital watermarks to enable easier sorting.
Be part of the process by scanning the digital watermark on our interactive K3^® promotion cup with your smartphone. Enjoy the augmented reality experience as the cup comes alive and tells you how to recycle the packaging!
