INEOS, COEXPAN Now Offers Recycled Yogurt Packaging
INNOTECH (Grupo Lantero’s research and development center for packaging solutions) has announced the successful completion of trials with the full range of yogurt cup formats. The trials addressed formats used in both European and American markets using StyrolutionPS ECO 440FC MR100 material, a 100% post-consumer recycled polystyrene grade produced from household food packaging waste. All dairy formats have been produced and tested to food contact standards.
The trials at INNOTECH show that mechanically recycled PS is produced and successfully tested to food grade standards across all shapes and sizes of dairy applications. According to the findings, polystyrene is not only the best material for dairy applications but also offers the shortest path to circularity for existing market applications. Members of the entire value chain, and in particular retailers and brand owners, are encouraged and invited to participate and understand what this could mean for polystyrene and for their respective businesses.
