TekniPlex's original GeoPack line consisted primarily of paper, fiber, and PLA products such as cups, containers, and cutlery derived from corn and beet plants for foodservice applications. In addition to these offerings, GeoPack has now been expanded to include a broad range of sustainability-minded materials science solutions, including:
• Fiber egg cartons and trays
• Fiber agricultural trays for produce
• Fiber food & beverage carriers used, for instance, in beverage service, and wine shipping
• Paper wraps for food service
• rPET egg cartons comprised of 100% PCR content
• PP and PE dip tubes for aerosols and household cleaning products made with advanced recycled materials
GeoPack comprises a broad spectrum of product families meeting defined criteria for sustainability. These criteria comprise varying combinations of materials science sustainability’s “4 Rs” – reduce, recycle, reuse, and renew – including biodegradable or compostable materials, post-consumer recycled content, recyclability, renewable substrates, and legislation compliance. The goal is to deliver solutions tailored toward customers’ sustainability metrics, including providing information on specific products’ environmental impact. Learn more about the GeoPack criteria.
“The substantially broadened GeoPack selection furthers our commitment to certifiably sustainable materials science solutions that meet our customers’ needs for product protection, performance and eco-friendliness,” said Eldon Schaffer, CEO of TekniPlex Consumer Products. “We look forward to introducing this reimagined, reinvigorated portfolio at PACK EXPO, along with a variety of other innovative solutions.”
