AgroResin Supports Corporate Initiative For The Environment
PWP goes even greener with sustainable packaging

To help retailers keep pace with consumers who are ever more environmentally conscious, PWP Industries is introducing AgroResinR sustainable packaging. It's more than environmentally friendly - it's part of the environment. Packaging made with AgroResin is 100 percent biodegradable, compostable and made from non-GM agricultural biomass.

"Today's consumers want packaging that meets their present needs, but doesn't compromise the needs of future generations," says Dale Sprosty, Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing, PWP Industries. "Adding packaging made with AgroResin to our line of products is part of our solution to make the best packaging on the market with an unequalled commitment to the environment."



AgroResin is made from renewable agricultural biomass fiber composite. Once considered a waste product and incinerated or placed in a landfill, now agricultural biomass is made into packaging that returns to the earth after use through composting or biodegradation. It is FDA approved for direct food contact.

Products made with AgroResin have a natural, "earthy" brown look that compliments fresh produce and prepared food products. AgroResin's stiff, durable structure protects fresh produce from bruising while its porous surface helps to extend product shelf-life. It is gas permeable, yet water resistant and can be used in the microwave.

AgroResin outperforms and is comparable in price to other competitive offerings. It is automation capable and compatible with flow-wrap and shrink-wrap systems. Lid embossing is available for promotional logo opportunities. The AgroResin product line currently includes square and rectangular produce trays but can be made into many shapes for many different applications.

The introduction of AgroResin is an evolution in an overall corporate-wide green initiative called Earth's Pack(TM). PWP Industries currently manufactures many of its plastic products using post-consumer PETE. Its award-winning Tamper-Resistant(TM) packaging is unique for its exceptionally secure closure that eliminates the need for PVC shrink bands or shrink wrap.
PWP also is dedicated to further green operations and educating customers about sustainability through an employee-led effort called Eco-Team(TM).

For more information on pricing and sales for AgroResin and other products from PWP Industries, please contact PWP Industries, toll-free, +1 (877)-700-0330.
