12 Jan 2024 --- In 2022, Mondi opened its first in-house recyclability testing laboratory in Frantschach, Austria. Since the launch, numerous R&D projects have been carried out to decrease footprints, improve performance and speed up production time of packaging materials. A Mondi spokesperson tells Packaging Insights that, in total, approximately 230 tested samples (160 in full assessment and 70 quick tests) have been run since the facility’s opening. Nearly all of these samples were for internal R&D purposes to accelerate Mondi’s market time, and the brown and white base papers ratio was approximately 70% white to 30% brown.
