Sustainability and recyclability in food packaging are more important than ever. Consumers and supermarkets are increasingly choosing products that are not only fresh and appealing but also responsibly packaged. That’s why mono net packaging is becoming more common on supermarket shelves. It looks like a standard tubular net package, but it is fully recyclable thanks to the elimination of metal clips, a trend that is gaining traction with supermarkets around the world.
MoNo Clipper
To meet this challenge, Manter developed the MoNo Clipper, an innovative packaging machine that packs products in mono-material net bags. The label is directly fused to the net material, sealing the bag and making it fully recyclable. Since the introduction of the MoNo Clipper, vegetables packaged with this machine have been available in supermarkets across the Netherlands.
Manter anticipated the demand for sustainable packaging solutions early on. “Even before the official launch, we received several requests for the machine,” says Michiel Eilander, Commercial Director at Manter. In the meantime, Manter has sold and installed multiple MoNo Clippers. “It remains remarkable to see how one machine can make such an impact, with bags now spread throughout the Netherlands.”
Flexibly applicable; from Brussels sprout to orange
The MoNo Clipper is currently mainly used for packaging onions and Brussels sprouts, but its potential goes further. According to Eilander, the machine is also perfectly suited for other types of vegetables and fruit, such as shallots and various citrus fruits, including lemons, limes, oranges, and mandarins. Mono net packaging sizes range from 250 grams to 2 kilograms, matching the most common packaging sizes sold in supermarkets.
