Faerch is thrilled to announce that our innovative MAPET II trays have received an independent recyclability certificate from the esteemed German Institute Cyclos-HTP. This rigorous evaluation reveals that Faerch’s MAPET II trays are 98%–99% recyclable, solidifying our commitment to circularity.
This remarkable achievement highlights MAPET II trays as a premier solution in sustainable food and drink packaging. It affirms that these trays not only support high-quality recycling but also align with critical circularity objectives. Additionally, the certification is instrumental in ensuring compliance with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, thereby bolstering our customers’ sustainability initiatives and reinforcing MAPET II as the preferred material for eco-conscious packaging.
MAPET II Trays: The Sustainable Choice for Fresh Meat Packaging
Specifically designed for protein-rich foods, such as fresh meat packaged in a modified atmosphere, MAPET II trays are manufactured from up to 100% post-consumer recycled PET. By minimizing environmental impact, these mono-material trays can be fully recycled into new food packaging of matching quality, thereby facilitating a fully circular system and decreasing reliance on virgin materials.
In contrast to traditional packaging solutions, MAPET II trays utilize a food-grade adhesive around the rim to create an airtight, leak-proof seal. This innovative feature enhances the trays’ superior barrier properties, ensuring product integrity even in the presence of potentially contaminated sealing edges. Moreover, MAPET II trays meet the strictest regulatory standards and are approved for direct contact with food at temperatures up to 40°C, offering flexibility for diverse storage and transportation needs.
A Commitment to Sustainability
At Faerch, we continue to spearhead sustainable innovation in food and drink sustainable packaging, driving the transition of essential packaging into a circular economy. With the official recyclability certification of MAPET II trays, we demonstrate that sustainable solutions can achieve the highest standards of safety, functionality, and performance.
