A new meat tray is 20 % lighter than its predecessor in part due to a high performance polypropylene.ES-Plastic is a producer of thermoformed trays used in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of fresh meat and is using SABIC® PP (polypropylene) materials to help minimize weight while increasing performance.
The latest product from the German company, the Evolution tray, weighs 10 g, compared to 12,6 g for the version it replaces. The company achieved the reduction by using SABIC® PP grades, while fine-tuning its sheet extrusion and thermoforming processes.
THANKS SABIC !
