The Selectables are equipped with one to three compartment and portion-sized inserts to carry food items, including seasonal cut fruit, candied nuts, meats and cheeses.
The inserts separate wet and dry foods, ensuring extended shelf life of products.
Placon claims that its EcoStar food-grade PET from curbside-collected, discarded bottles and thermoforms that Placon recycles back into Selectables packaging has been used to develop the recycled bowls, inserts and lids.
Commenting on the development, Placon stock products director Jeff Lucash said: "Placon is really adding a way to maximise the merchandising of foods with stock packaging that has a true custom container feel to it.
