SEE Launches Compostable Protein Packaging Tray at IPPE 2024

In its continuing pursuit to develop packaging materials that meet the sustainability goals of its customers, global packaging solutions provider SEE (NYSE: SEE) has developed the first biobased, industrial compostable tray for protein packaging that has been successfully tested to meet the demands of existing food processing equipment.

SEE’s new CRYOVAC® brand compostable overwrap tray is made from biobased, food-contact grade resin, which is USDA-certified as having 54% biobased content chemically derived from renewable wood cellulose. The tray, which will break down into organic material without leaving toxic residue, was created as an alternative to those made from expanded polystyrene (EPS), which are traditionally used to package fresh poultry and red meat for consumer purchase but are not biodegradable or recyclable.

Setting a new sustainability standard, SEE will introduce the CRYOVAC® brand compostable overwrap tray at the International Product & Processing Expo (IPPE) January 30 – February 1 at booth C31141. IPPE, the world’s largest poultry and egg, meat, and animal food industry event, is held each year in Atlanta.
