Huhtamaki North America launches fiber-based egg cartons with 100% recycled content
With more than 100 years of experience in molded fiber packaging technology, Huhtamaki, the maker of Chinet® tableware, is launching fiber-based egg cartons, made from 100% recycled material, for U.S. egg producers. Huhtamaki is bringing its fiber expertise to the United States as an alternative to foam egg packaging.
As of today, 12 states have enacted legislation aimed at banning expanded polystyrene packaging. The most common application for this material includes foam "peanuts" for packing, coolers, food service cups and plates, and egg packaging.
