Octal claims its new DPET-PE trays will revolutionise poultry packaging by improving process and cost efficiency while maintaining maximum freshness.
Octal‘s patented DPET sheet is spearheading a shift from traditional packaging methods to PET, said the firm.
The firm’s latest poultry packaging offers high-definition thermoforming for several shapes and sizes while the direct-to-sheet process slashes energy use in the most energy-consuming and defect-prone processes, claims the firm.
Independent researchers Intertek Expert Services and Renewable Choice Energy have verified that Octal’S DPET uses 65% less purchased electricity and 28% less on-site thermal energy with 18% lower global warming potential and a 30% lower cradle-to-gate environmental footprint than conventional APET, said Octal.
Gulf countries include five of the world’s top ten chicken consumers, said Maurice Abou Zeid, business manager MENA.
“Poultry imports to the Middle East and Africa is a booming industry,” he said.
“Our DPET sheet has set the global standard in the manufacturing of uniform high-quality packaging products and is perfectly suited to serve a growing market through its process efficiency that combines strength with flexibility and consistency to offer a superior grade packaging solution.”
Octal’s DPET sheet is calibrated specifically for high speed production lines to make the form-fill-seal process more efficient and eliminate defects, he added.
