With many of the world’s quick service restaurants pledging to be green by 2025 with improved packaging and recycling practices, Liquibox (now part of Sealed Air) met the need to develop a recycle-ready version of its well-known patented urn-liner product line.
The recycle-ready urn-liner is comprised of an all-polyethylene bag and adapter with a removable thermoplastic elastomer tube. The tube is easily separated from the bag’s adapter so the mono-material bag can be recycled. This innovation makes Liquibox urn-liners compatible with recycling streams and reduces its ecological footprint, while still ensuring reliable product protection.
The disposable urn-liners cover the inside of metal beverage urns and decanters. Each liner is equipped with a tube that feeds through the urn spigot keeping the liquid product from coming in contact with the urn or spigot, which provides a safe, better-tasting beverage for consumers and operational efficiencies for store operators. Liquibox urn-liners are the ideal solution to meet the heightened demand for sanitation standards by reducing bacteria in beverages such as iced tea, iced coffee, and other non-carbonated drinks by 99%.
“Liquibox has been helping restaurants improve food safety with its original patented urn-liners for over 20 years,” said Kevin Griffin, Liquibox Vice President of Sales North America. “With the new recycle-ready urn-liner, we aim to contribute to our company purpose of making our world better and to help customers get one step closer to reaching their sustainability goals.”
