Sharpak Bridgwater and Sharpak Yate are running an advertising campaign in Meat Trades Journal and Meat Management during September to December. 

Sharpak was the very first manufacturer to launch a range of PP punnets and food trays using UK stream post consumer waste as well as being ahead of its competitors in producing a range of punnets from UK and European sources into the r-PET blend.

A more recent development has been a carbon low PP material called c-LOW harnessing nature’s natural resources and offering a solution with a substantially reduced carbon footprint compared with conventional PP. This has wide applications across the meat packaging industry and has already received acclaim from leading retailers.

Both PP and APET materials offer clear and distinct benefits to Sharpak’s meat and poultry customers not the least in physical properties, pack integrity, on shelf appeal and environmental benefits.

The availability of both APET and PP across meat and poultry packaging gives Sharpak’s customers a unique choice with some characteristic differences.

APET offers ultra high clarity, excellent gas barrier and like PP is entirely suitable for modified atmosphere packaging. The material can incorporate high levels of post-consumer recyclate and like PP is fully recyclable.

Polypropylene has an inherently low carbon footprint and offers good clarity, and produces excellent heat sealing with top films. Click here
