Environmentally Friendly Food PackagingWith Genpak, you can be assured that when we talk about food packaging that is easier on the environment, it really is easier on the environment. Many companies these days practice what is know as green washing, or making things sound greener than they really are. They tell half truths and not the whole story when marketing their "green" products. We believe our green products should fall into one or a multiple of the three R's of sustainable food packaging. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. If one of these three objectives is not met, we won't market them as a green solution. Nothing falls into this category better than our brand new Harvest™ products. Harvest™ Fiber is fully BPI certified compostable and 100% natural, made from annually renewable resources. No petrochemical resin source at all! Harvest™ Starch is produced from a hybrid material that replaces 60% of the traditional plastic material with natural, annually renewable starches. Now that is source reduction that you can really sink your teeth into!
For other food packaging that falls into the three R's of sustainable packaging, be sure to check out our clear PET containers produced from up to 50% post consumer recycled content as well as our Smart Set Pro microwave safe containers that are source reduced by up to 20% versus our competition. |
