Biomass for packaging

It’s more than environmentally friendly – it’s part of the environment.
Packaging made with AgroResin is 100 percent biodegradable,
compostable and made from non-GM agricultural biomass.
“ Today’s consumers want packaging that meets their present needs,
but doesn’t compromise the needs of future generations, ” says Dale
Sprosty, Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing, PWP
Industries. “Adding packaging made with AgroResin to our line of
products is part of our solution to make the best packaging on the
market with an unequalled commitment to the environment. ”
AgroResin is made from renewable agricultural biomass fiber
composite. Once considered a waste product and incinerated or
placed in a landfill, now agricultural biomass is made into
packaging that returns to the earth after use through composting or
biodegradation. It is FDA approved for direct food contact.
Products made with AgroResin have a natural, “ earthy” brown look
that compliments fresh produce and prepared food products.
AgroResin’s stiff, durable structure protects fresh produce from
bruising while its porous surface helps to extend product shelflife.
It is gas permeable, yet water resistant and can be used in
the microwave.
AgroResin outperforms and is comparable in price to other
competitive offerings. It is automation capable and compatible with
flow-wrap and shrink-wrap systems. Lid embossing is available for
promotional logo opportunities. The AgroResin product line
currently includes square and rectangular produce trays but can be
made into many shapes for many different applications.
The introduction of AgroResin is an evolution in an overall
corporate-wide green initiative called Earth’s Pack™. PWP
Industries currently manufactures many of its plastic products
using post-consumer PETE. Its award-winning Tamper-Resistant™
packaging is unique for its exceptionally secure closure that
eliminates the need for PVC shrink bands or shrink wrap. PWP also
is dedicated to further green operations and educating customers
about sustainability through an employee-led effort called Eco-
Team™.
