Spartech Rolls Out Eco-Friendly Replacement for PVC Packaging
Thursday 28. May 2009 - As demands increase for environmentally friendly, sustainable packaging, Spartech Corporation (www.spartech.com) has answered the call with EnviroSeal, a family of sealable, polyester products designed to replace clear, rigid PVC packaging.
“Sustainability, high performance, and versatility were key drivers in designing this family of products,” explained Jonathan Cage, Director of Packaging Development for Spartech. “The EnviroSeal line meets a broad cross-section of PVC applications. It is specifically designed to suit individual manufacturing processes, requiring no tooling or capital expenditures. This product is the drop in solution to many packaging needs including PVC replacement.”
EnviroSeal products contain comparable physical performance properties to PVC. These products are available with pre- or post-consumer content, can be RF welded and heat-sealed to film or cards, and are ideally suited for use in food and non-food consumer packaging, electronics and warehouse club packaging, and industrial products.
Designed for use in blister packaging, clamshells, produce containers, display boxes and containers, EnviroSeal products offer superior clarity and deliver impact, trimming and packaging performance in three custom-designed products – XP20 and XP30 which are FDA-approved for food contact, and XP40. All products in the EnviroSeal line are recyclable in PET streams.
“EnviroSeal products reflect Spartechs strong commitment to environmental stewardship. We are pleased to continue to offer the packaging industry high quality, sustainable products with built in performance characteristics suited to their process needs.”
EnviroSeal XP20, XP30 and XP40 samples are available from a Spartech representative. Spartech also offers the UltrosRenu family of products for PVC replacement.
