RPET food tray is a new innovation in the food packaging industry. It's made from recycled PET, which makes it more sustainable than a traditional virgin plastic food tray. This innovative product uses less energy to manufacture, resulting in a lower carbon footprint than a similar virgin PP food tray. It also has a higher recycled content, ensuring that it can be re-used again.

Compared to a standard polypropylene (PP) food tray, a rPET food tray has a 28% lower carbon footprint. A single ton of trays can save 1.8 tons of CO2. The rPETeCO range is made from up to 85% post consumer recycled material, and the material properties are very similar to that of virgin PP. It also has excellent chill impact performance, allowing chilled foods to be served in this material. Moreover, rPETeCO has high gas barrier properties for MAP applications. It also provides a superior seal for contamination, which is important for preserving the quality of the finished product.

Currently, 80% of the content of a RPET tray is made from recycled PET. It's also more lightweight than a standard PP tray, which helps cut transportation costs and reduces the number of materials used. This is a major advantage in the market for food trays. It's a perfect material for salads and cold cuts, as well as for chilled foods. It's a very appealing design, which can meet a wide variety of food needs.

It's also more durable and is suitable for a variety of applications. It's easy to stack and has a high barrier performance. It can be used in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), and is especially suitable for meat, poultry, cheese, and seafood. It can be used in many areas in the food industry, including restaurants, supermarkets, and other food service operations. It also has excellent durability and can be used for high-speed stacking.

Its design also has an innovative de-nesting feature, which prevents food from falling through the rim. It's a good choice for foods that require a protective, high-quality seal, such as sushi and cheese. It also offers superior clarity and superior recyclability, making it a great option for a wide range of applications.
