In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, small changes can make a big difference. MCP has introduced pigment-free rCPET trays, a practical innovation in food packaging. With their translucent white color and proven performance under extreme conditions, these trays represent a thoughtful step toward more sustainable packaging solutions.
The Innovation Behind Pigment-Free rCPET Trays
Until recently, we offered rCPET trays in pigmented forms. MCP’s new development stands apart by eliminating pigments, allowing the natural translucent white color of rCPET to shine through. The trays contain up to 50% recycled content, making them an example of how to balance functionality, sustainability, and aesthetics in packaging.
Built to Handle the Heat (and Cold)
The trays have been rigorously tested to withstand elevated temperatures of up to 220°C, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of food applications. On the flip side, they are equally robust in freezing conditions, enduring impact tests at -20°C and deep freezing at -40°C. Whether it’s a hot lasagna or frozen goods, MCP’s trays offer unparalleled performance.
Translucent Packaging: A Step Toward Better Recycling
The natural translucent color of these trays isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it’s a strategic move aligned with global trends. Markets in Australia, New Zealand, and beyond are shifting away from colored packaging to simplify sorting processes and enhance the quality of recycled materials. MCP’s pigment-free trays meet this demand head-on, enabling smoother recycling and setting a new standard for sustainability.
Meeting Market Demands for Lower Carbon Footprints
For businesses seeking packaging solutions that combine reduced environmental impact with premium functionality, MCP’s trays check all the boxes. The use of recycled content, compatibility with high or low-temperature applications, and improved recyclability make them an ideal choice for customers committed to reducing their carbon footprint. By embracing pigment-free rCPET, MCP’s customers can align their packaging with consumer expectations and regulatory trends alike.
Changing Packaging for a Greener Future
MCP’s pigment-free rCPET trays are a step forward in sustainable packaging. By focusing on recyclability, sustainability, and performance, MCP is contributing to the ongoing improvements in the food packaging industry. These trays demonstrate how practical design, and environmental responsibility can work together to create effective solutions.
