Sidel’s ultra-clean ambient Combi technology boosts Orkla ketchup production
Earlier, Sidel provided Orkla with ultra-clean ambient Combi technology to boost its ketchup production.
By moving to a new PET packaging design and in-house blowing with Sidel’s integrated blow-fill-cap solution, Orkla has boosted its ketchup production’s safety and capacity, to meet increased consumer demands for convenient, sustainable, and healthier products.
The new easy-to-use ‘squeezable’ shapes allow users to empty the bottle and ensure no unnecessary food wastage.
Additionally, the new PET bottles are up to thirty percent lighter than the previous PP design. Orkla has also increased its sustainability credentials as bottles are composed of at least 25 percent of rPET (recycled PET) while the ketchup manufacturer is aiming to utilize fifty percent in the future.
