Strong availability, food-grade status, and high quality are the properties that make r-PET the top material when it comes to sustainable packaging. Greiner Packaging is working continuously to optimize the material itself as well as driving the methods used for processing it.
Thanks to the high transparency of r-PET, consumers can already convince themselves of the freshness of the packaged food on the supermarket shelf.
r-PET is readily available both in Europe and internationally. Greiner Packaging customers benefit from the recycled material of Greiner Recycling.
r-PET is granted a positive EFSA-opinion and can therefore be used as (almost) the only mechanically recycled material for food applications.
Thanks to its good barrier properties, r-PET protects products particularly well from external influences, such as oxygen or light.
Even products with a high fat content can be safely packaged in r-PET.
