Preferred Packaging has introduced GreenStream multi-compartment fibre trays designed for packaged meals.<\/p>\n

These trays are both compostable and recyclable in areas with paper recycling facilities.<\/p>\n

They are suitable for microwave, freezer, and oven use, featuring a peelable liner that simplifies the removal process for composting or recycling, thereby reducing the likelihood of food residue hindering the recycling process.<\/p>\n

The trays are free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and are designed to be strong, resistant to oil and moisture, and capable of preventing leaks and discolouration.<\/p>\n

Made from bagasse plant fibres, the GreenStream trays are produced in an environmentally responsible manner that does not generate wastewater, according to the company.<\/p>\n

This product aims to assist brands in transitioning to sustainable packaging solutions while adhering to extended producer responsibility regulations.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the engineered surface of the GreenStream trays is compatible with Preferred Packaging\u2019s range of recyclable and compostable lidding films, as well as various other lidding options.<\/p>\n

Preferred Packaging general manager Chadd Floria said: \u201cGreenStream fibre trays give prepared meals a sustainable packaging upgrade without sacrificing performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe engineered our fibre trays to provide brands with an economical solution that reduces environmental impact and complies with evolving packaging regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Preferred Packaging, a division of C-P Flexible Packaging, offers integrated packaging systems such as multilayer flexible films, thermoformed containers, and tray sealing equipment for prepared meals.<\/p>\n

The company also provides the Affirm recyclable and compostable lidding films and OmniSeal sealing equipment, catering to diverse production volumes and budgets.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Preferred Packaging and Northwest Frozen introduced a line of extended shelf-life refrigerated meals<\/a>, utilising C-P Flexible\u2019s proprietary lidding film from the Affirm family of multilayer packaging materials.<\/p>\n
