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.
