In February 2023, the Government of Canada announced over $3.7 million in support to help Omnia Packaging purchase new equipment to produce unique, Canadian-made, 100 percent compostable and recyclable paper trays and 100 percent recyclable plastic trays for the food packaging industry.
Omnia Packaging has now opened it’s new facility in Guelph, Ontario – marking a significant milestone for Gruppo Sunino Italy (Sunino Group), in North America. The Sunino Group, is an Italian family-owned business that has been providing innovative sustainable packaging for multiple generations across three continents. The Group brings half a century of expertise in injection molded plastic products – a production process that incorporates modern, sustainable solutions for: food, sport accessories, promotional and toys.

 

In Canada, the Sunino Group through Omnia Packaging provides innovative and sustainable food packaging solutions in plastic and paper.
The paper division produces glue-free paper trays that can replace top-sealed Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) trays, without changing existing equipment. These recyclable trays can be used for fruit and vegetable produce such as strawberries, blueberries, snack tomatoes, mini cucumbers, mushrooms and more.

 

The Plastic Division provides plastic tubs for dairy, confectionery producers, and co-packers. The tubs feature lightweight walls, are all top-sealable, and are made from mono-material Polypropylene (PP), which is recognized as the purest and most recyclable polymer in the industry.

Omnia Packaging’s local investment in the latest automations for injected plastic and paper glue-free trays is dedicated to advancing sustainable packaging practices and championing a plastic-free waste future in Canada.
