This breakthrough represents a major step forward in our collective journey towards a more sustainable future. 

The Advantages of Thermoformed Deli Containers 

Thermoformed Containers by rPlanet Earth® offer a myriad of benefits, making them an ideal choice for businesses looking to meet their packaging needs while adhering to environmental sustainability goals. 

Versatility: Available in both round and square shapes and five convenient sizes (32 oz, 24 oz, 16 oz, 12 oz, and 8 oz), these containers cater to a wide range of food service needs, from deli counters to convenience stores. Multiple lid options further enhance their versatility, ensuring that there’s a solution for every type of food item. rPlanetEarth’s Thermoformed Deli Containers are designed to be film-sealable, making them ideal for packaging wet products like salads, salsas, and various dips, ensuring freshness and spill-proof convenience. 

Quality and Compliance: Despite being made from recycled materials, these FDA-compliant food-grade containers do not compromise on quality. They offer excellent clarity and visibility of the product inside, ensuring that contents are easily viewable and appealing. They are also 100% recyclable, FDA compliant, food-grade, and manufactured in an SQF-certified facility, ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality are met. 

Sustainability: Made entirely from 100% post-consumer recycled PET material, these containers directly contribute to reducing the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills and oceans. Sourced from curbside collection programs across California, the material used in these containers is a testament to the effectiveness of recycling programs and the potential for circular economy practices. 

Low Carbon Footprint: The production process of these Thermoformed Containers is designed to be as efficient as possible, significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This commitment to a low carbon footprint production process means that businesses can reduce their environmental impact while still providing high-quality packaging to their customers. 

Impact on Reducing Carbon Footprint 

The use of containers made from recycled PET material greatly reduces the carbon footprint of the packaging industry. By repurposing post-consumer plastic waste, rPlanet Earth® is helping to decrease the demand for virgin plastics, which in turn reduces the energy consumption and emissions associated with plastic production.  

Furthermore, the efficient, low carbon footprint production process of these containers minimizes environmental impact, setting a benchmark for sustainable manufacturing practices in the packaging industry.
