Biodegradable Packaging for Food Manufacturers and Producers
Move product lines away from petroleum-based plastic with PHA and PLA trays, containers, jugs and clamshells designed for commercial food production.
The packaging challenge for food producers
Food manufacturers need packaging that protects product, supports shelf life and runs on existing lines, while retailers and consumers increasingly ask for alternatives to petroleum-based plastic.
Switching is practical when the replacement is matched to the product: tray formats for meat and seafood, containers for dairy and prepared foods, jugs for beverages, and clamshells for produce and bakery. Performance and compatibility should always be validated with samples before production.

We supply certification documents for the specific item so you can support your sustainability claims accurately.
