MHI announces they now are producing thermoformed packaging manufactured100%
Good Earth(tm) 100% post consumer recycled content PET is the newest addition to MHI's family of eco friendly packaging. This material expands MHI's existing selection of material options marketed as "Today's Most Practical Alternatives"
Developed and manufactured by MHI, a vertically intergrated division of CEI Incorporated, this new proprietary material offers many environmental, performance and cost benefits for those looking to use more eco friendly packaging. This carbon footprint reducing option is not only made 100% from recycled plastic bottles, it is also biodegradable and compostable in a landfill or compost environment. It can also be recycled through existing programs. Currently the average person discards 166 plastic bottles annually with 8 out of 10 ending up in landfills.
FDA approval, high clarity, range of colors, temperature range and good strength make it an attractive and practical alternative for a wide range of food and consumer goods packaging. Performance and physical characteristics are the same as or close to the traditional materials (PET, PVC, OPS) it can easily replace and does not have any shelf life, storage, or heat sensitivity limitations.
Cost of packaging manufactured from this newest Good Earth(tm) material is competitive with and sometimes less than the traditional materials it replaces and is readily available.
Also being offereed (depending on certain factors) is a "closed loop" program where plastic bottles can be picked up and then remanufactured into 100% post consumer recycled content thermoformed packaging for the company or institution returning the bottles.
