Duni Group has announced a material transition across key product lines of its Duniform takeaway, ready meal, and catering brand. The brand is shifting to mono-material solutions to enhance recyclability and support circular economy infrastructure.
The update has been implemented across all new production and is being gradually rolled out to customers.
Duniform is a food packaging brand owned by Duni Group, operating within its Food Packaging Solutions business area. Designed for the food industry, professional kitchens, restaurants, catering, hotels, and food retail, Duniform provides a complete system of sealing machines, trays, films, and technical support. Duni Group is represented in more than 50 markets globally.
Transition to Pure Polypropylene
The material transition focuses on reducing the use of additives and fillers, resulting in packaging constructed entirely from pure polypropylene (PP). This shift simplifies the physical makeup of the packaging, making it highly compatible with existing municipal and industrial sorting systems.
The transition has been applied across three primary product categories:
🥡 Take Away – Packaging designed for quick-service and grab-and-go dining.
🍲 HMR (Ready Meals) – Solutions optimised for home meal replacement and ready-to-heat foods.
🍽️ Cater Line – Heavy-duty and multi-portion trays designed for professional catering and events.
Alignment with EU Regulations
The transition is part of Duni Group’s long-term product development strategy to design packaging for end-of-life recycling. The move aligns with tightening environmental standards, including the European Union's upcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
By adopting mono-materials ahead of these legal frameworks, the brand seeks to help food service operators navigate evolving compliance demands.
Marie Davies, Category Manager for Trays and Films at Duniform, stated that the transition significantly improves recyclability at scale while maintaining the same functionality and quality. Davies noted that the shift allows businesses to adopt more sustainable options without requiring changes to their day-to-day operations.
Operational Continuity for Customers
To prevent disruption for professional kitchens, distributors, and retailers, Duni Group has ensured that the material update does not alter the physical design or technical performance of the Duniform range.
Product dimensions, temperature resistance, and existing article numbers remain unchanged. This enables food service operators to maintain their current sealing equipment, packaging workflows, and ordering processes.
