Why RPET versus APET? Some thermoformers and brand owners believe that recycled thermoformed packaging doesn’t have the high optical clarity that virgin APET containers are known for. That myth is dispelled when using EcoStar RPET-F roll stock, a material that is amazingly clear with superior strength and easy formability for thermoformed food packaging applications. From hinged bakery containers to plastic catering trays, lids, deli cups to bowls, our EcoStar material has the properties needed to form visibly clear, strong and sustainable packaging for fresh cut, pre-packed salads, sandwiches, fruits, vegetables to baked goods, nuts and produce packaging.
