I2r Packaging Solutions has launched ready-to-cook aluminium cooking trays for whole chickens and game birds. The products that are 20 per cent lighter and use less aluminium than other products are available in three standard sizes, ie, 959 cc, 1,118 cc and 1,619 cc, suitable for birds weighing between 1 kg and 2.3 kg. The trays have been designed to maintain their strength and include features such as finger holds to make it easier to put in and take out of an oven. Peter Reay, chief executive, I2r, said, ''This can provide a significant packaging weight reduction, impacting on transport costs as well as material used.''
