New rPET Food Packaging Range Launched

Kevin Curran, Managing Director of Tri-Star, said: “Converted by a leading UK thermoformer, rPET is simply recycled PET that is sourced from a growing supply of post consumer waste such as drinks bottles, etc.

01/12/2007 Tri-Star, the responsible disposable food packaging provider, can now help businesses meet their CSR objectives by supplying the first comprehensive range of recycled and recyclable polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) food packaging to the UK retail and food service sectors.

Kevin Curran, Managing Director of Tri-Star, said: “Converted by a leading UK thermoformer, rPET is simply recycled PET that is sourced from a growing supply of post consumer waste such as drinks bottles, etc. Therefore, it is a sustainable proven material in the food packaging industry and is fast becoming the new standard for an environmentally responsible packaging future.

Competitively priced, high quality containers for sandwiches, salads, cakes, wraps and bagels will all be available in Tri-Star’s rPET range, giving, retailers, sandwich or salad producers, retail coffee shops, bakeries and contract caterers the opportunity to choose the environmentally and economically sustainable products whilst not compromising on quality or presentation.
