Global food packaging manufacturer Sabert Corporation Europe has succeeded in achieving its goal of producing an improved range of food service packaging products that are now made from 100% High Grade, Post Consumer PET Bottle Flakes.

“We are so pleased to have achieved our aim of closing the loop and using no more virgin PET,” said Sabert Corporation Europe Marketing and Innovation Manager, Gisèle Nonnweiler.

“Sabert Corporation Europe began producing some products which included Post Consumer PET Bottle Flake before 2016, but in January that year took our whole range to a guaranteed minimum of 50% High Grade, Post Consumer PET Bottle Flakes content,” said Gisèle. “During 2018, we increased this percentage to a minimum of 70% and since September this year, we are now producing products featuring 100% High Grade, Post Consumer Recycled PET content.”

With more than 30 years in the packaging and foodservice industry, Sabert Corporation Europe is specialised in manufacturing and marketing innovative food packaging, disposable high-quality tableware and compostable food packaging and tableware. Sabert Corporation Europe has implemented a number of measures which demonstrate its deep commitment to protecting the environment.

Recycling of 100% of internal production waste, the use of green energy and investments in production tools that use less energy, optimisation of stacking to increase storage and transport space and much more. But it is the emphasis on developing increasingly sustainable packaging for the food industry for which Sabert is best known.

Practical for all chilled food applications, they perform well in refrigerated applications for extended periods of time. The rPET aids resistance to oxygen and moisture, helping preserve food and extending shelf-life. (Photo credit Sabert)

“Sabert Corporation Europe has built on its commitment to quality by continuously investing in sustainable innovation to answer consumer demand for packaging solutions that are safe, made from 100% recycled material and are recyclable,” said Gisèle. “Sabert’s clear Chilled Solutions salad bowls and all of the clear lids available across our entire product range are now made from 100% High Grade, Post Consumer PET Bottle Flakes. This represents another milestone in Sabert’s journey towards sustainability and commitment to promote a circular economy.”

“Sabert’s clear rPET solutions are recyclable,” said Gisèle. “Plastics have several lives and PET is the most recycled plastic. Recycled plastics are used to manufacture a wide variety of new products. Sabert encourages all the plastic users to recycle and to help to close the loop toward a circular economy. These new high-clarity rPET products deliver on our promise to make food look great!”
