WasteMaster - Automated Food
Waste Recycling from Pakawaste
With Pakawaste’s new innovative
WasteMaster product, you can avoid wasting
your food waste ever again! WasteMaster
is designed to convert food waste into an
odour-free residual material with a high
calorific value. This material has multiple
uses, including green energy production.
Ideal for caterers, restaurants, hospitals
and hospitality professionals, WasteMaster
reduces the volume and weight of food waste
by up to 80%. Its simple operation means that
up to 400kg of food waste can be processed
per 24-hour cycle. This is achieved without
the requirement for additives or water, all
thanks to a clean reactive-oxygen process.
Wastemaster works by agitating the
food waste and creating air pockets. This
accelerates the natural decomposition
process and breaks food down into a
compost-like material. Fully automated and
simple to operate, WasteMaster requires
minimal training to achieve reliable results.
Reclaiming food waste benefits both your
organisation and the environment. With
WasteMaster, food no longer has to be sent
to landfill, flushed into sewer systems or
incinerated. This reduces the amount of
methane gas ordinarily released into the
atmosphere.

Barrier Packaging Films For The
Circular Economy
Innovia Films is launching the first of its new
range of transparent high barrier packaging
films, Propafilm™ Strata SL.
It has been designed to be a standalone
mono filmic solution or, to be used in
laminate constructions to be ‘recycle ready’,
or recyclable in countries which have the
infrastructure to recycle polypropylene
films.
Alasdair McEwen, Global Product Manager
Packaging, Innovia Films explains “Our
new in-house technology has enabled us
to produce a totally new film with unique
barrier properties.
Strata SL has a very effective barrier to
aroma, mineral oils and oxygen even at high
relative humidity levels ensuring increased
shelf life and reduced food waste.”
The fact that this film is transparent
enables wrapped products to be seen by
the consumer, a growing trend in the food
industry.
This glossy film is also food contact
compliant and chlorine free.
McEwen continued “All our beta trials during
the development of this product have been
very effective.
Strata SL has performed exactly as we
expected, proving excellent machinability
and printability.
Some of our customers are currently
running shelf-life tests to prove the product
for their particular application which will
provide us with real test results.
Our target markets for this packaging film
are cereal bars, biscuits, snacks, dried fruit
and nuts as well as tea and coffee.
This new development is very timely in view
of the industry move towards recyclability
and a circular economy.
Our next product launch will follow very
soon and will offer even higher barrier
levels.”
