The FDA food-grade, 100% recyclable line of disposable plastic food containers includes portion-sized, multi-compartment packaging along with containers perfect for half sandwiches, hoagies and pre-packaged fresh meals. The ultra-clear containers are manufactured from curbside collected plastic bottles and thermoforms containing up to 100% post-consumer content.
“Every reFresh package is made with our EcoStar PET rollstock which contains high clarity, recycled plastic that we purchase in bales at our recycling facility, then wash and recycle into new packaging,” states Jeff Lucash, Director of Sales – Placon Stock Products. “The containers are tamper-evident which helps assure consumers the package hasn’t been tampered with, and after use, the food containers can simply be tossed into recycling bins to be sorted, washed and reused again and again.”
