Our PP food trays are designed to make the lives of your customers easier

PP is well-proven for all types of ready meals. PP allows transparent packaging and is suitable for hot use applications. By choosing a PP solution for your ready meal product, you get a material designed to optimise your manufacturing processes, while offering a wide number of design options within one tooling profile. 

PP is an excellent choice for microwavable ready meals since it can be used at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 121°C, depending on the type of PP used. Our PP trays for ready meals are available in numerous standard sizes, colours and shapes to perfectly match the visual identity of your brand and business.

Key characteristics for PP

 

Protective

Protective and safe food packaging

Safety in food packaging is extremely important, and quality packaging is key to protecting your ready meal product from contamination and to keeping it fresh and appealing. Our ready meal packaging made from PP protects the integrity of your food product at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 121°C, which includes hot use applications. PP keeps your ready meal product safe from physical damage and spoilage, and it guarantees that the flavour of your product does not change. This helps to prolong the shelf life of your product, making your packaging part of the solution to reduce food waste.

Faerch ready meal products made from PP comply with the strictest regulations on food safety. They meet the highest standards according to Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. No such specific regulation exists for non-plastic materials, only the softer Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 is typically applied with certain practical limitations on how to prove food safety.

Protective

Recyclable

In contrast to CPET, which allows for true circularity, PP is made from 100% virgin material. However, PP trays are fully recyclable in contrast to packaging not made from a mono-material. PP, which is recycled from food applications, represents an important source of material for supplying other durable applications, such as in the automotive industry, and for applications such as child safety seats, bike helmets, garden furniture, and pipes. In the PP recycling chain, food applications represent the first step necessarily requiring 100% virgin material. PP is typically promoted by waste managers and legislators due to its excellent recycling capability and volume.
