Holfeld takes top award at Starpack Awards
Starpack judges commented
‘A difficult category to judge this year with 3 strong contenders. However, overall, judges felt the use of post recycled content in PET trays AND forming technology has taken the R-PET Market on, and the potential for roll out with significant tonnage, sizing and carbon savings tipped the balance. Overall figures impressive. Love the elimination of a foam liner from a consumer point of view.’
Holfeld has bottled out for sustainability using 20% less waste plastic bottles in blending their rPETeCO material – one of the lowest multi-application rPET materials for the red meat, poultry, fish, soft fruit, fresh produce and non-food sectors available today. The material is perfect for the cosmetics industry where added value and product differentiation is required. Key attributes are its on shelf appearance, it has a non-plastic look, is highly tactile as well as lightweight.
rPETeCO demonstrates the same characteristics and material properties as virgin PET with excellent sealing, chill impact properties and top load performance. It is available in a range of colours. The material has been formulated to ensure it complies with the input requirements of the mixed plastics sorting and recycling facilities.
