Cascades is proud to announce the expansion of its eco-friendly packaging line with the addition a 100% recycled PET tray which is also recyclable. Its design makes the tray perfectly compatible with the packaging equipment already used by food processors and retailers.
The 100% recycled PET composition of this tray and its optimized design make it a leading alternative to hard-to-recycle food packaging. By using recycled PET exclusively, Cascades is helping its customers reduce their impact on climate change by 69%. The desire to include this new product in the logic of circular economy was a priority from the outset of its design, and the efforts made in this regard led to meaningful recognition: How2Recycle has prequalified this tray as widely recyclable in Canada and recyclable in limited communities in the United States. It took three years of research to develop its unique design that allows for minimal use of materials while ensuring optimal rigidity. Its rolled edges reduce the risk of tearing when using shrink-wrap, helping to prevent food waste.
