Pactiv Evergreen, a North American fresh food and beverage packaging manufacturer, has introduced its new Recycleware reduced-density polypropylene (RDPP) meat trays.
These trays are designed to serve as an alternative to foam polystyrene, catering to packer processors in search of eco-friendlier options.
Pactiv Evergreen food and beverage merchandising business president Eric Wulf said: “Pactiv Evergreen is dedicated to producing innovative, quality packaging with a reduced environmental impact.
“Our new Recycleware RDPP Meat Trays are vertically integrated, meaning they are extruded, thermoformed and padded at our facilities. They are processor grade and run well on existing overwrap equipment.”
The Recycleware RDPP meat trays can be recycled in communities that accept polypropylene trays.
The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) has acknowledged the Recycleware RDPP meat trays as meeting the highest criteria in the APR Design Guide for Plastics Recyclability, noted the company.
