Duni Group Launches Assured Carbon Footprint Calculator Duni Group's new assured Carbon Footprint Calculator provided consistent and data-driven carbon footprint insights for the company's own-produced napkins and table covers. This tool made it easier for customers to make informed, more sustainable choices and reduce their climate impact. As demand for product-level CO2 data continues to grow, transparency and consistency are becoming increasingly important for both customers and companies. The Carbon Footprint Calculator also supports customer dialogue by enabling comparisons between Duni Group's own-produced napkins and relevant industry-average reference data for virgin tissue in Europe. The model that the tool is based on is independently assured by the Carbon Trust in accordance with ISO 14067:2018. This third-party assurance strengthens the credibility of how product carbon footprints are calculated and communicated. The underlying data is sourced from Duni Group's climate reporting. In addition to its customer benefits, the tool supports Duni Group's ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions by strengthening internal decision-making. Duni Group has previously launched a similar calculator for its food packaging assortment. Announcement • May 06
Duni Group Launches Black Paper-Based Packaging Collection Duni Group launched Tray Contrast and Ronda Contrast - a black paper-based packaging collection developed to enhance the visual presentation of food and facilitate sorting in relevant systems, while the material choice contributes to a lower climate impact. Black packaging has long been used to create contrast and enhance food presentation, but black plastic solutions can be difficult to sort. With Tray Contrast and Ronda Contrast, Duni Group now offers a paper-based alternative that retains the appreciated black contrast while facilitating sorting in existing systems. The collection consists of black paper-based trays and bowls with a functional barrier, combined with transparent lids for clear on-shelf and take-away visibility. The packaging is primarily intended for cold food but can be used up to 70 °C, and the lids have a tight fit to ensure safe handling. The trays and bowls are made from FSC®-certified and other controlled materials, without added PFAS. Part of the collection can also be custom branded to match the customer's unique graphic identity. For a sushi restaurant selling approximately 500 portions per week, switching from a black plastic tray weighing 20 g to this paper-based tray solution can reduce the use of plastic by up to around half a tonne per year, depending on the selected format. The launch is part of Duni Group's work to unite form, function and responsibility in everyday dining occasions - and supports the ambition to contribute to future sustainable and inspiring food experiences. A comparative life-cycle calculation in Duni Group's verified CO2 calculator showed that Tray Contrast has a lower calculated climate impact per tray than a reference tray made of black PET. The comparison is based on defined assumptions regarding, among other things, weight, transport and end-of-life handling, and is therefore indicative. Duni Group holds an FSC® certificate, FSC-C014985. Announcement • Apr 29
Duni Group Launches Sealable Paper Bowl For Ready Meals Duni Group launched Sealable Ronda, a sealable paper bowl for salads and bowl meals, developed within the Duniform brand. By combining paper with hermetic sealing and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), the solution enables longer freshness for ready-to-eat meals, reduced food waste and secure handling throughout the distribution chain, while reducing the relative use of plastic. Demand for ready-made salads and bowl meals continues to grow, while food waste remains one of the main sustainability challenges within the ready-meal segment. At the same time, food producers and retailers face increasing demand for packaging solutions that can extend shelf life, perform safely in logistics and retail environments, and respond to the need for alternatives with lower plastic content. Sealable Ronda has been developed to meet these requirements by enabling hermetic sealing and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in a paper-based format, supporting additional days on the shelf and reducing the risk of food being discarded. Compared with plastic-based Duni bowls of a similar size, the solution features more than 85% lower plastic content and more than 50% lower CO2 emissions. The sealing provides a leak-resistant, tamper-evident and hygienic package that protects the meal throughout the distribution chain. It reduces the risk of leakage, supports safer transport, and enables cleaner handling in both logistics and retail environments. The visible seal also makes it easy for consumers to see that the package has not been opened. At the same time, the solution responds to a clear market demand: the ability to seal paper bowls and thereby combine a high share of renewable material with functionality that has long been standard in plastic packaging. The round bowl format is adapted for modern food concepts such as salads, bowls, sushi and poke bowls and provides a clear and appetising presentation on the retail shelf. The format is easy to stack and handle in store and is suitable for both hot and cold dishes. Sealable Ronda is made from FSC®-certified and other controlled material and can be printed, enabling producers to communicate content, origin and brand directly on the packaging. Duni Group, via its brand Duniform, offers Sealable Ronda as part of a complete system of compatible packaging, films, machines and services. The solution is developed to improve logistics, reduce downtime in production, and create better conditions for a structured approach to reducing both food waste and resource use. The launch aligns with Duni Group's ambition to contribute to future sustainable and inspiring food experiences through solutions that strengthen food safety, extend shelf life, and help reduce food waste throughout the value chain.

Duni Group Launches FSC-Certified Table Cover Material with Resource-conscious Design With the launch of the new table cover material Velviq, Duni Group takes the next step in developing sustainable solutions for table settings in restaurants, hotels and catering. Velviq is FSC-certified and based on responsibly sourced wood-based raw material. It also features a resource-conscious design, meaning less material per cover compared with heavier alternatives. Velviq uses FSC-certified, wood-based raw material from forestry operations that meet requirements for environmental care and social responsibility. The raw material is produced at Duni Group's paper mill in Skapafors, Sweden, while the finished product is manufactured at the company's converting facility in Germany. This combination provides close control from raw material to finished cover and high traceability throughout the production chain. Traceability and transparency in production are central to Duni Group's sustainability work. Velviq is also designed for material efficiency. Compared with heavier table cover materials, the solution uses less material per cover, contributing to more efficient resource use--without compromising stability or usability. The range includes three product formats, rolls, placemats and runners, in White, Cream and Granite Grey. The material has a soft, tactile surface that supports a consistent table setting across different table formats in restaurant, hotels and catering. The launch is part of Duni Group's work to develop practical, material-efficient and responsible solutions--from raw material to use. It is therefore in line with Duni Group's ambition to contribute to future sustainable and inspiring food experiences. Announcement • Feb 06
