Pactiv Evergreen and AmSty Launch Circular Polystyrene Food Packaging Products
15 Febrero 2023 - 9:26AM
To help major food brands achieve important sustainability goals,
Pactiv Evergreen, a leading manufacturer of fresh food and beverage
packaging in North America, is teaming up with AmSty, the leading
manufacturer of polystyrene in North America and a pioneer in
circular recycling of polystyrene. Pactiv Evergreen will soon offer
customers innovative foam polystyrene packaging products with
AmSty’s post-consumer recycled content derived from advanced
recycling technologies.
“Pactiv Evergreen produces thousands of products in more than a
dozen materials that protect, package and display fresh food and
beverages,” said Eric Wulf, president of Pactiv Evergreen’s food
merchandising business unit. “Our broad material expertise enables
us to support our customers quickly and effectively as they seek
more sustainable products. Our collaboration with AmSty expands our
portfolio of circular packaging, and we’re pleased to offer this
solution to our customers.”
Based on a mass-balance approach, select Pactiv Evergreen
packaging will use ISCC PLUS-certified recycled polystyrene from
AmSty. ISCC PLUS is an internationally recognized certification
process for circular content, which audits the supply chain from
end-to-end. Consumers can feel confident about purchasing a product
linked to ISCC PLUS-certified recycled content derived from
advanced recycling technologies.
“We are excited to collaborate with Pactiv Evergreen in this
groundbreaking effort. With our post-consumer polystyrene recycling
process now certified by ISCC, we can introduce and scale up
polystyrene circularity in a meaningful way,” said Tim Barnette,
vice president of polymers and sustainability for AmSty. “As brands
look toward more sustainable food merchandising and packaging
options, polystyrene foam makes sense. Its lightweight and
performance qualities make it a desirable material. Now, with the
addition of circular content through advanced recycling, it makes
even more sense.”
Pactiv Evergreen will begin offering customers the ability to
purchase packaging linked to ISCC PLUS-certified post-consumer
recycled polystyrene derived from advanced recycling technologies
using mass balance allocation in the first half of 2023.
“It’s rewarding to support our customers in their efforts to
have a positive impact on the environment,” said Lynn Dyer, chief
sustainability and public affairs officer for Pactiv
Evergreen. “We’re committed to our company’s purpose of
‘Packaging a Better Future’ by providing innovative, sustainable
solutions. This new material furthers progress on our goal
that by 2030, 100% of our products will be made with recycled,
recyclable or renewable materials.”
