US-based Placon has introduced a high barrier food-grade Ecostar HB 4000 PET that extends shelf life resulting in considerable cost savings, and the ability to recycle with no negative impact on the recycling stream.
The unique multi-layer sheet when converted into retail packaging results in a truly viable environmental solution for showcasing a variety of meats, poultry, seafood, cheese, produce and processed food items.
The recyclable PET is earth-friendly and features a patent pending co-extruded sheet comprising active and passive layers with superior oxygen barrier performance. Once this multi-layer material is thermoformed, an instant barrier is created resulting in extended shelf-life for perishable foods.
Placon’s PET food grade materials are compliant with the US FDA and available in both custom thermoformed packaging and rollstock.
