Mondi lands a catch with Krissia® surimi sticks and its switch to recyclable, paper-based packaging

  • Mondi designs new paper-based secondary packaging for Krissia® chilled surimi sticks.
  • Packaging uses Mondi’s FunctionalBarrier Paper 95/5 and saves 20 tonnes of plastic each year.
  • Solution provides product protection while ensuring the recyclability of the paper packaging. 

Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has supported Angulas Aguinaga® on its journey to switch to recyclable paper-based packaging for its Krissia® brand chilled surimi sticks, greatly reducing the amount of plastic being used.

The surimi sticks were previously packed in a multi-material plastic solution. By collaborating closely with Mondi, Angulas Aguinaga® and its Krissia® brand is now transitioning to secondary packaging using Mondi’s FunctionalBarrier Paper. Mondi’s wealth of expertise in paper packaging meant that it could create a solution that would be genuinely fit for purpose, protecting the chilled product while significantly reducing plastic – eliminating up to 20 tonnes of plastic every year.

Mondi’s FunctionalBarrier Paper is made from renewable and certified resources, responsibly sourced and delivers a range of benefits: Mondi’s strong and tear-resistant kraft base paper is fully converted in-house to ensure customised barrier protection of the food and sealability of the packaging. The final packaging is recyclable in Spain’s existing paper recycling streams.

Jordi Gorchs, Regional Manager France & Southern Europe, Consumer Flexibles, Mondi, says: “By working closely with the Krissia® team and looking into the entire journey of the product, we have been able to ensure the surimi sticks are packed in recyclable packaging that supports a circular economy, keeping valuable materials in the loop. We took the time to focus on the needs of the product first before optimising our FunctionalBarrier Paper to provide a responsible, recyclable replacement to the previous plastic alternative.”

Mikel Grande, Angulas Aguinaga® Marketing and Innovation Manager, says: “We are committed to creating innovative solutions in the food industry that solve real consumer needs. In this context, switching our product packaging to materials that come from renewable resources is a must: it is our responsibility to offer solutions to our consumers, whose preferences have shifted towards paper-based packaging. This new solution significantly replaces unnecessary plastic while assuring the quality of our Krissia® surimi sticks. We are very proud to be the first brand commercialising this type of paper-based packaging for chilled fish.”
