Preferred Packaging Introduces Recyclable & Compostable Fiber Trays

Preferred Packaging, a division of C-P Flexible Packaging, has launched GreenStream™ fiber trays for packaged meals. Made from natural plant fibers, GreenStream™ multi-compartment fiber trays are also compostable and curbside recyclable in municipalities with paper recycling collection systems.

The microwave-safe, freezer-safe, ovenable fiber tray includes a peelable liner designed with a tab for easy removal when composting or recycling the tray. This eliminates food particles that could otherwise prevent the tray from being recycled. The PFAS-free tray also provides strength, oil resistance and moisture resistance with no leaking or discoloration.

Composed of bagasse plant fibers and manufactured responsibly without generating wastewater, GreenStream™ fiber trays are an ideal solution for brands converting to sustainable packaging and complying with EPR laws. The engineered surface of the fiber tray is compatible with Preferred Packaging’s recyclable and compostable lidding films, as well as a wide variety of other lidding films.

“GreenStream™ fiber trays give prepared meals a sustainable packaging upgrade without sacrificing performance,” says Chadd Floria, General Manager of Preferred Packaging. “We engineered our fiber trays to provide brands with an economical solution that reduces environmental impact and complies with evolving packaging regulations.”

Preferred Packaging also offers Affirm™ recyclable and compostable lidding films, as well as OmniSeal™ high-efficiency sealing equipment designed to accommodate all volumes and budgets. Additional information can be found at www.prefpkg.com.
