Single-use plastic bans is gaining momentum, and the foodservice industry needs more sustainable, reliable, and economical optionsto carry them into the future.
Expanded PET (XPET™) is a viable, planet-friendly alternative you can feel good about. Manufactured in the U.S., our products are lightweight, stronger than polystyrene foam, and made with 100% recycle-ready PET.
The XPET™ solution
Expanded PET (XPET™) is an innovative packaging material made with a monolayer PET structure, providing a sustainable solution to hard-to-recycle polystyrene (PS) trays.
Affordable.
High-performing.
Innovative.
Made from PET, the most recycled resin in the U.S.
Contains 30-50% less resin than clear PET trays
Monolayer structure,
meaning it is
recycle-ready(*)
Our trays are made from 40% recycled content
Soon to be made from 100% PCR resin content
Availability
XPET™ trays are successfully and commercially used in the U.S. market. We currently have capacity to accept new projects.
Sustainability
XPET™ is made from 100% PET, the most recycled resin in the U.S. Styrofoam is not recyclable and does not break down in landfills, hence the growing ban to curtail its use in single-use applications.
Cost-effectiveness
XPET™ trays are the most economical alternative to non-sustainable products.
Weight and Density
Lightweight monolayer XPET™ is comparable in density to foamed PS—lighter weight reduces fuel consumption during transport.
Durability
XPET™ protects package contents from damage and leakage caused by tears on trays. PS trays break and tear easily and can be ripped or destroyed when passing through packaging equipment.
Safety
Food processor-grade XPET™ trays are suitable for meats, fish, seafood, vegetable, and prepared foods.
Reduce
Low-density XPET™ reduces plastic use with superior lightweight food tray solutions.
Reuse
XPET™ is made with 40% recycled PET resin, as we work toward
100% PCR content.
Recycle
XPET™ is made from PET, the most recycled resin in the U.S.
