In our modern, fast-paced world, convenience is king. This mantra applies notably to the food sector, with ready meals and microwaveable food items becoming increasingly popular. A critical player enabling this convenience revolution is a specific type of plastic known as CPET, or Crystalline Polyethylene Terephthalate. This unique plastic has become a mainstay of food packaging, thanks to its impressive properties and eco-friendly benefits. What is CPET ?CPET is a specially treated form of the commonly used plastic, PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate). PET undergoes a crystallization process to create CPET, which drastically enhances its heat resistance. This treatment makes CPET the ideal material for packaging food items that can go straight from the freezer to the oven or microwave, withstanding high temperatures without deforming or releasing harmful substances. CPET's Role in Food PackagingThe next time you pull a ready meal out of your freezer or buy a takeaway container, take a closer look at the packaging. Chances are, it's made from CPET. This plastic has become a go-to material for meal trays and food containers due to its thermal stability and safety. With CPET, food producers can ensure their products reach consumers in perfect condition, whether reheated in an oven or microwaved. In addition, CPET's high clarity showcases food products effectively, making them more appealing to consumers. It's no surprise then that CPET has taken the food packaging sector by storm, given its perfect blend of practicality and visual appeal.
