Koninklijke Hordijk Verpakkingen

Extrusie verpakkingen van verschillende kunststoffen voor (non) food fabrikanten, zoals flessen en potten

The extrusion blow molding process begins with heating PP pellets until they melt. The molten material is then injected into a mold, where it is formed into a hollow tube, known as a parison. This parison is then placed in a mold, and compressed air is used to inflate it against the walls of the mold, forming the desired shape. Extrusion blow molding of PP is an effective and efficient solution for producing food packaging with an excellent balance of performance, food safety, and sustainability.

Injection molding involves melting plastic granules and injecting them into a mold under high pressure. The liquid plastic takes the shape of the mold. The plastic is then cooled, and the packaging is removed from the mold.

Thermoformed Packaging from (r)PET and PP for fresh food

At Hordijk, we provide both custom and standard packaging solutions. Our packaging is produced and stored in two modern factories in Zaandam, under strict BRC-approved hygiene conditions.

EPS-producten waaronder verpakkingen, isolatieplaten, bouwmaterialen, technische delen en tuinbouwtrays

Met uitzondering van de verpakkingen voor voedingsmiddelen passen wij in alle producten tot 30% gerecycled piepschuim toe. Met de nieuwste techniek, die werkt met microgolven in plaats van stoom, kunnen we zelfs tot 80% recyclaat verwerken.

Mono PET meat tray

A good example of our circular approach is the development of the mono PET meat tray with a locked seal. Thanks to this design, not only is functionality improved, but the quality of the recyclate is also increased, which is essential for a closed cycle. You can see this tray at our stand.

Chemical recycling

Hordijk Packaging has taken an important step towards a circular economy by testing the chemical recycling of PET material from household PMD waste. With this technique, used PET can be processed into high-quality raw material that can be reused. We will be happy to show you samples of chemically recycled PMD waste at our stand.

Albert Heijn uses circulair MDS PET packaging from Hordijk

Albert Heijn is the first supermarket to use transparent tray-to-tray packaging. The packaging was developed by plastic recycling company Umincorp and Hordijk and consists of 40% recycled PET, of which at least half comes from household packaging waste (MDS rPET).

Packaging producers on PPWR: The game is difficult when the rules keep changing

The PPWR is phased in starting in 2026 and will place significant demands on food producers. Packaging producers are also making significant strides toward PPWR compliance.

Hordijk Packaging wins Rethink Award for collecting and recycling innovatively

We are proud to have won the Rethink Award in the recycling category. On Wednesday evening, June 23, we were presented with the award for MDS RPET and Ocean RPET. Two innovative RPET streams that we deploy and process into high-quality food packaging.
