Sustainable and truly circular food packaging

Consumers are increasingly demanding products and brands that clearly display their commitment to the environment. Packaging designed for circularity is gaining growing attention as a way to drive sales while reducing both the demand for finite materials as well as environmental impact. By choosing MAPET II for your fresh meat packaging, you get a state-of-the-art solution with great environmental benefits. MAPET II is made from 100% recycled content and can be fully recycled into new food grade trays of the same quality again and again – without compromising on food safety. This allows for true circularity. As the world’s only integrated food tray recycler, we are doing this on an industrial scale. At our site in Duiven, Netherlands, we recycle MAPET II trays and use the flakes and pellets as input material for new food grade trays across all of our production sites.

MAPET II allows you to provide the very best protection for your product while making it visually striking for maximum shelf appeal.

Customer convenience

Meet your customers’ needs and expectations with fresh meat packaging made from MAPET II. Our MAPET II food trays are designed to make customers’ lives easier.

Here is a short run-down of the 4 key advantages of fresh meat packaging made from MAPET II when it comes to convenience.

• Superior clarity
  Consumers judge the quality of your product in seconds, and they prefer honest and transparent product presentation. The superior clarity offered by MAPET II sets your product apart on the shelf and helps your customer evaluate the quality and integrity of your food to go product prior to purchase.
  
  
• Extended shelf life
  MAPET II offers superior barrier properties, extending the shelf life of your product. This makes storing at home easier and can help reduce food waste. In a very energy-intensive category like meat, this is very important.
  
  
• Built-in absorbers or pads
  Built-in absorbers and pads capture meat juices and keep your food product looking appealing.
  
  
• Tight and secure opening
  Packaging plays a vital role in ensuring that your fresh meat product is safe. Instead of the conventional top layer, food grade adhesive is applied around the rim of each tray to ensure an airtight and leak-proof seal. This prevents leakage despite potential contamination from juices, protein, and spices. In addition, this ensures that the modified atmosphere is maintained in the tray.
