Packaged products are notorious for wasting large amounts of plastic. PaperLite is a unique type of paper packaging that’s made from renewable materials.
PaperLite is paper packaging made by Flextrus that’s FSC certified (made from wood taken from sustainable forests). Better yet, it’s biodegradable and is safe to use for frozen food products. With the look and feel of paper, it retains the sealing properties of petroleum-based plastic in that it can be molded and sealed for frozen foods. Also, because it’s a lightweight material, it reduces transportation costs, which also provides a lighter carbon footprint.
PaperLite is customizable for all kinds of applications – and it’s good for the environment too. Just another way we can get out from under an oil-based economy in style.
