The two companies intends to phase out single-use plastics and let the customers know that the pre-packaged format is the “preferred way” for purchasing “quality” seafood.
Ethos Seafood Group co-president and partner at Blue Earth Group Ivan Clements said: “Plastics are a primary concern for everyone in the seafood industry. Alongside our partners at MULTIVAC, we identified the pressing need to transition vacuum skin-pack films into a recyclable format. We are very pleased to have achieved this goal for the base trays, with the additional customer benefit of having an easy-peel top film.”
As part of this transition, the base tray is made of mono PET film, which contains a high percentage of recycled material.
Additionally, the two companies developed a clean release/peel from the breathable top film to ensure recyclability.
