KFC Australia Scoops Graphic Packaging International’s Eco-Friendly Food Bucket For Big Bash League

January 9, 2019 Off By Sebastian Reisig

Graphic Packaging’s award-winning, non-plastic solution was selected by league sponsor KFC Australia due to its outstanding eco-credentials. Manufacture of the recyclable bucket, which has been developed and commercialised over the last five years, is exclusive to Graphic Packaging’s Winsford, UK, site.

Mike Turner, managing director at Graphic Packaging, commented: “We’ve had a successful working relationship with KFC UK and Ireland for some time now. And whilst the company has its own bucket supplier in Australia, its requirement for a renewable solution meant that Graphic Packaging International was, without question, the supplier of choice.”

The 100% plastic-free bucket is ideal for protecting and presenting KFC’s product, featuring a robust, grease-resistant lining which prevents the build-up of excess oil. A glossy finish has been achieved with clay coating to enhance print vibrancy without the need for a plastic coating.
