Our 100% recyclable SealPPeel substitutes the typical aluminium foil. It doesn't rip, and also simplifies the sorting process of empty packages. This autumn, we will start distributing these fully recyclable margarine tubs. First in Belgium, later in other countries. Margarine tubs made by Vandemoortele are sold under Brands and Private Label in more than 13 countries in Europe.
