KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Fabri-Kal, known for exceptional customer service and product quality, is announcing its latest sustainable product offering: Recycleware™ Containers. Recycleware Containers are made with a minimum of 20-50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) PET material. Recycleware Containers are made in the USA and are recyclable, in the communities that accept these products. With the introduction of this new brand, Fabri-Kal is reinforcing its commitment to furthering a circular economy by giving recycled plastics a second useful life and keeping them out of the environment.
“Recycleware allows us to do more while consuming less raw materials. Our foodservice packaging made from post-consumer recycled PET bottles enables operators to show their commitment to the environment while displaying products in Recycleware Containers,” said Mike Roeder, president and COO, Fabri-Kal. “By using Recycleware Containers, your customers will understand that you are as committed to the future as they are.”
Recycleware Containers are crystal-clear, durable and leak-resistant. Supermarkets, convenience stores, and commercial foodservice venues such as educational institutions and sports arenas can use these containers to showcase their foods to consumers while lowering their environmental impact. Recycleware Containers safely serve food in packaging ideal for takeout, merchandising and grab-and-go consumption.
