Envirosheets Bring Sustainability to the Bakery and Deli 2018-01-01 (1)

1 Min Read

Pak-Sher announced the launch of Envirosheets, a new bakery/deli interfolded sheet that is made 100% from recycled milk jugs. Produced using 100% PCR (post-consumer recycled plastic), the material meets FDA guidelines for direct food contact and is manufactured and packaged at the Pak-Sher plant in Kilgore, Texas. Pak-Sher credits their unique film manufacturing process for their ability to create a reliable and inexpensive 100% PCR product. In fact, this product is less expensive than the wax or paper sheets that are prevalent in the current market. “This product will be a game changer,” says Paul Gage, president and CEO. “Finally, supermarkets, delis, bakeries and convenience stores have a truly green product that will help them achieve their sustainability goals AND can improve their bottom line. Until now, that was a fantasy in the packaging world, but we’ve turned fantasy into reality.” Envirosheets provide the same benefits as virgin poly sheets: moisture barrier, microwavable, easy-grab interfolded packaging and more cost effective than paper or wax, with the added benefit of sustainability. Envirosheets are just the first in a line of maximized PCR content products Pak-Sher plans to offer. Pak-Sher www.paksher.com
